for future examinations.Our Promise To You

What makes D.O.s Different?
- D.O.'s can perform surgery, child delivery, treat patients, and prescribe
medicines in hospitals and clinic setting.
- D.O.'s
look at the "total person." Osteopathic physicians focus on
preventative care. Instead of just treating specific symptoms or illnesses, they look at
the whole body.
- D.O.'s receive extra training in the musculoskeletal system, which is
comprised of the nerves, muscles, and bones. This training gives D.O.s a
better understanding of how an injury or illness in one part of the body can
affect another part of the body; therefore, D.O.'s have a therapeutic and
diagnostic advantage.
- D.O.'s use what is called osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). OMT
is a technique in which the D.O.'s use their hands
to diagnose injury and
illness, giving special attention to the joints, bones, muscles, and nerves.
Manipulations improve circulation, which in turn, creates a normal nerve and
blood supply, enabling the body to heal itself.
What is osteopathic medicine?
Osteopathic medicine is a complete system of medical care. The
philosophy is to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.It emphasizes
the interrelationships of structure and function, and the appreciation of the
body's ability to heal itself.
No, osteopathic medicine is not alternative at all. In fact, osteopathic medicine has a history of 125 years. It is a complete system of medical care founded on the philosophy of treating the whole person. Just like M.D.'s, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.'s) are fully trained and licensed medical physicians. Our philosophy of patient-focused care allows D.O.'s to provide comprehensive health care, while also making you feel well cared for.
Who practices osteopathic medicine?
Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.'s) practice this distinct field of medicine. D.O.'s and M.D.'s are the only physician in the United States who are fully trained and hold unrestricted licensed to perform surgery and prescribe medicine.
