A Distinctive Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment...

Using this osteopathic manipulation, it is not unusual for a D.O. to detect physical problems that fail to appear on an X-ray.

It should be noted that when necessary, Dr. Sandler will turn to medication or surgery, but she favors using safe, non-intrusive treatment that minimizes side effects. She subscribes to the belief that your body's immune system is the best drug available.

What's the Difference between an Osteopath and a Chiropractor?

Simply put, the Chiropractor's care is generally limited to spinal manipulation. Beyond that, Chiropractors have no license to prescribe medication or perform surgery and have only limited diagnostic testing capabilities.

The osteopathic physician has a full medical degree, has completed four years of osteopathic medical school, internship and residency requirements, is licensed to practice in hospitals and clinical settings, and has received additional training to diagnose and treat patients by manipulating the entire body.

An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure

Because Osteopaths believe that preventive medicine is the best cure, Dr. Sandler looks beyond the physical symptoms and considers your lifestyle and emotional and mental well-being. She pays attention to your home environment, job, diet, exercise regimen, and any other factors that affect your health.

Osteopathy's Firm Foundation

Since the late 1800s, Osteopaths have been successfully diagnosing and treating medical problems with their hands. Combined with Dr. Sandler's ability to use all conventional medical procedures with O.M.T., you can be assured you are receiving the most comprehensive health care available today.
