What is a DO?

Doctors of Osteopathy are fully trained, licensed and Board Certified physicians who practice in all areas of Medicine using a whole-person, patient-centered approach to medicine, listening and partnering with their patients to achieve and maintain wellness. The main difference in the training of DOs and MDs is that DOs complete an additional 200 hours of coursework focusing on anatomy and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. This extra training focuses on bones, muscles, and nerves and how they interconnect and affect the body's overall health.

What is the philosophy of Osteopathic Medicine?

Osteopathic medicine is based on the idea that the body, mind, and spirit work as one, the body can heal itself, structure and function are closely connected, and treatment should support these natural relationships to promote health.

What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment?

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a set of hands-on medical techniques used by physicians to diagnose and treat illness or injury by stretching, massaging, and applying gentle pressure to muscles and joints. By addressing the body’s physical structure, it aims to reduce pain and inflammation while promoting the body’s natural ability to heal across the circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems.

What are the benefits of OMT?

OMT can be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions including:

• Musculoskeletal conditions: back pain, neck pain, joint pain, muscle tension, and headaches.

• Respiratory problems: asthma, sinusitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

• Digestive problems: constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

• Circulatory problems: edema and lymphatic congestion.

• Pregnancy-associated issues: pelvic girdle pain, low back pain, reduce stress and anxiety, ease labor and delivery.
