Immersing himself in the study of anatomy, he developed methods to augment the natural healing capabilities within his patients with an emphasis on structure-function relationships. Dr. Still believed that health was the natural state of human beings when there is no impedance to the flow of blood, lymph and nerve function. Osteopathic philosophy is based on the following four principles: The human body is an integrated unit, including mind, body and spirit The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms and is capable of self-healing Structure and function are interrelated at all levels Rational treatment is based on these principles In addition to medicines and surgery, osteopathic physicians are trained in hands on manipulation of the body to remove restrictions, normalize joint motion, promote normal fluid exchange and nerve function, and subsequently help patients achieve a state of optimal health. While osteopathic manipulation can potentially improve many conditions, it is commonly used to address: Headache Neck and back pain Newborns with plagiocephaly (irregular head shape), torticollis (restricted neck motion), and feeding problems Chronic ear infections Temporomandibular joint dysfunction Chest discomfort Joint and muscle pain Athletic injuries Back pain during pregnancy and post-partum realignment Sciatica https://www.corvallisdo.com/home daily 1.0 2024-06-21 https://www.corvallisdo.com/about-dr-evitts daily 0.75 2025-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c13153b6a1904ff88a41fa/1631053222534-V1LYS3GF8CKCYZ4ATL9M/5666-MattEvitts-best.jpg About Dr. Evitts - Dr. Matthew Evitts Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
