At Southside Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Marian Bayne-Poorman believes in a non-pharmacological approach to treating common medical complaints. To improve health, she uses gentle osteopathic techniques to improve alignment and balance in the body.
How does osteopathic manual treatment help improve balance in the body?
Let's use a car analogy. When your car's wheels are out of alignment, it affects your ability to steer the car and leads to uneven wear and tear on the tires. If uncorrected for a long time, it may eventually damage other parts of the car. For this reason, an auto mechanic regularly checks the car and fixes any alignment problems. Doing this simple car maintenance, one can avoid costly repairs and likely increase the longevity of the car. Your body is similar. When the body is "out of alignment," it can increase wear and tear on joints and put structural stresses on other parts of the body. Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMT) helps balance and minimize stress on the body, and improve health. Like other medical interventions, OMT cannot fix or help all medical conditions, but it can improve symptoms in most cases, especially when treatment starts early.
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment treats a variety of medical conditions including:
Osteopathic Manipulation works in conjunction with your primary care physician's medical care plan.
Dr. Marian Bayne-Poorman is trained and board certified in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. Treatment techniques typically include craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, counterstrain, balanced ligamentous tension, and muscle energy.

We treat older children, adolescents and adults with gentle osteopathic manipulation, also known as osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). Balancing function and realigning the body may take multiple office visits. Even in severe disease, OMT can optimize functioning within the boundaries of the disease.
Expect to spend approximately one hour for your first office visit. During this hour Dr. Bayne-Poorman will obtain your medical history, perform a focused, osteopathic medical exam, discuss OMT and perform appropriate treatment(s). New patient office visit is $50.00 and the treatment is $175. Total cost for the first visit is $225.00.
Follow up appointments are typically 45 minutes. The charge is $175 for the 45 minute treatment. Most patients will require a series of appointments.
