What is Osteopathic Medicine?

Osteopathic Medicine’s philosophy is treating the “whole person”.  This approach to health care means you are more than just the sum of your body parts.  You are treated as a person first, instead of treating just the symptoms of an illness.

Osteopathic physicians use their training in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), in addition to the traditional medical training, to identify structural problems and support the body’s natural tendency toward health and self-healing. They actively listen to your concerns and focus on assisting you to develop lifestyles and attitudes that help prevent illness.

Millions of Americans prefer this compassionate, caring manner of providing health care and have made D.O.’s their doctors for life.
