Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine:
Osteopathy is a system of healthcare established by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in 1874. Osteopathy is based on the theory that the body is capable of making its own remedies against disease and other toxic conditions when it is in normal structural relationship and has favorable environmental conditions and adequate nutrition.

Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine includes manual treatment methods for musculoskeletal and other conditions. Techniques may resemble other forms of manual treatment, but the objective is to improve the flow of blood, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid to allow the body to heal itself.

As a member of EMHS, Inland has access to resources and best practices that help us provide the highest quality healthcare. A multitude of specialists are available at both Inland Hospital and Eastern Maine Medical Center, our system's advanced medical care center, and include cardiology, pulmonology, rheumatology, obstetrics, endocrinology, orthopedics, oncology, physiatry and vascular care.
