An osteopathic physician will focus on the joints, muscles, and spine. Treatment aims to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems.

Treatment is usually divided into 3 phases: trial, treatment, and training. We recommend that patients mentally commit to 3 once-weekly sessions for the trial period. About half of our patients get enough benefit by then that they can skip directly to the training phase where they can maintain their relief largely on their own. About a quarter of our patients need 2-4 additional sessions over 2-3 months before feeling comfortable enough to move on to the training phase, and the last quarter have had chronic pain which requires several treatment sessions over 4-6 months. Ultimately, the goals are to provide you the tools to both keep yourself active and to minimize the risk of future pain.

Dr. Razvi operates on a percentage of outcome philosophy. In that, do you feel 50% better? 75%? 90%? And how much better can his treatments make you. New River Osteopathy will provide treatments and exercises they can do at home for certain diagnoses to continue healing.

Osteopathy treatments can lead to significant reductions in anxiety, pain, mental health dysfunction, and improvements in self-care.  Treatments may also allow for the use of less pain medication.

Dr. Razvi will always prescribe additional treatments from other providers if the injury or condition calls for it.
