What is a "D.O."?
|
|
|
|
Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) in medicine is a holistic approach to medicine which was originally established in America over 100 years ago. The philosophy behind osteopathic medicine focuses on looking at the whole person and how an illness that is specific to one area can affect the entire patient. Osteopathic medical training is very similar to the training at M.D. (allopathic) medical schools.
Osteopathic physicians are licensed by all 50 states and can practice any medical specialty. However, Osteopathic physicians receive additional training in manipulative techniques to assess, then treat, muscle and skeletal complaints. Osteopathic techniques can also be used at times to supplement traditional Western medical treatments. Western medicine is defined as treatment of medical conditions with medication - also known as allopathic medicine.
