All medical evaluation and any treatment provided at Vega Hands On Osteopathic Care are performed by a licensed specialty board certified osteopathic physician (DO) authorized to practice medicine in the state of Georgia.

Patients are evaluated for somatic dysfunction involving the musculoskeletal system and its related neurologic and vascular components. The physician determines, based on medical history and physical examination, whether OMT or other medical management is appropriate for an individual patient’s presentation.

No specific outcome is guaranteed.

OMT is not appropriate for every patient or every condition. Appropriateness is determined solely by the physician’s clinical judgment following evaluation. OMT is performed only after informed consent is obtained and may be declined by the patient at any time. When OMT is contraindicated or not indicated, it will not be performed.

Based on physician assessment, care may be provided to patients across the lifespan, including infants and children. Technique selection and treatment approach are adjusted based on age, size, medical history, and clinical findings.

An initial visit includes a review of medical history, physical examination, and hands-on assessment by the physician. If medically indicated and consented to, OMT may be provided during the visit. Evaluation may occur without treatment if clinically appropriate.

Patients are advised to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing to allow for ease of movement and to facilitate any hands-on treatment that may be performed.

The clinic offers follow-up visits and individualized care plans for patients seeking a structured, physician-directed course of treatment. Although optional, many patients choose to initiate a care plan following the initial evaluation to promote continuity and optimize treatment consistency and outcomes.
