What is a Doctor of
Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.)?

 

Both D.O.s and M.D.s are fully qualified physicians licensed to perform in all 50 states.

 

But there is some difference between these two kinds of doctors...

 

 

· Osteopathic physicians focus on preventive health care.

 

· D.O.s practice a "whole person" approach to medicine. Instead of just treating specific symptoms or illnesses, they assess the overall health of their patients including home and work environments.

 

· D.O.s receive extra training in the musculoskeletal system — your body’s interconnected system of nerves, muscles and bones that make up two-thirds of its body mass. This training provides osteopathic physicians with a better understanding of the ways that an injury or illness in one part of your body can affect another.

 

· Osteopathic manipulative treatment is part of  the training and practice of osteopathic physicians. Osteopathic physicians use their hands to diagnose injury and illness and to encourage your body’s natural tendency toward good health. That is why D.O.s offer their patients the most comprehensive care available in medicine today.
