Osteopathic Medicine includes the study of all branches of medicine and additional studies of surgery. It is a medicine based on the belief that disease and dysfunction in the body is mainly manifested in the musculoskeletal system. Doctors of Osteopathy are trained to use the musculoskeletal system to diagnose and treat multiple diseases, avoiding medication which may later have unfriendly side effects.
A large principle of Osteopathic Medicine is that the human body innately holds self-healing and regulating abilities. Doctors of Osteopathy are trained to uniquely develop treatment plans for each individual patient, based upon what the body and the patient tells them.
Osteopathic Medicine is not only used to treat multiple diseases and abnormalities in the body, but it is also used for prevention and for promotion of general wellness.
