How can osteopathic treatment help muscle spasms?

I deal with muscle spasms often and my mom suggested for me to get osteopathic manipulative treatment to help me. How would it help me?

There are many reasons for spasm, which include metabolic as well as structural causes. To effectively improve these symptoms a diagnostic process is warranted to better determine its cause. If structural, manipulation can be helpful to restore adequate physiology to the area that can improve spasms.

Hi there,
It depends on the cause of the spasms how it would help, however it would be a good place to start to see if this holistic approach might help!
