Osteopathy

"To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease."

-A. T. Still MD, DO

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs, are fully licensed physicians who practice in all areas of medicine. Emphasizing a whole-person approach to treatment and care, DOs are trained to listen and partner with their patients to help them get healthy and stay well.

DOs receive special training in the musculoskeletal system, your body's interconnected system of nerves, fascia, muscles and bones. By combining this knowledge with the latest advances in medical technology, they offer patients the most comprehensive care available in medicine today.

Osteopathic physicians focus on prevention, tuning into how a patient's lifestyle and environment can impact their wellbeing. DOs strive to help you be truly healthy in mind, body and spirit -- not just free of symptoms.

The Four Tenets of Osteopathy

1) The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit.

2) The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance.

3) Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.

4) Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function.
