About Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathic medicine is a philosophy and practice of physician care in the
United States, distinct in its whole-person approach and pioneering in its
conceptualization of “wellness.”
For Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs, a whole-person approach
includes partnering with patients, considering the connection of body, mind
and spirit in delivering care, and recognizing the role of a physician’s hands
to diagnose and treat illness or injury. Emphasis on prevention and wellness
is central in a philosophy that promotes the body’s natural tendency toward
health and self-healing.
DOs graduate from a college of osteopathic medicine and complete
subsequent specialty training in residency programs and fellowships in
hospitals, community health centers or other clinical settings. Osteopathic
medicine is one of the fastest growing segments of healthcare, representing
more than 11 percent of all physicians in the United States. More than 25
percent of all current medical students are osteopathic medical students.
Four Tenets of Osteopathic Medicine
Four tenets provide the foundation for osteopathic medicine’s whole person
approach:

  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.
    The osteopathic whole-person perspective has guided many of this
    country’s more than 141,000 DOs into primary care roles, helping to address
    the physician shortage in rural and underserved areas, and has proven
    equally valuable for the many thousands of DOs represented in every
    medical and surgical specialty and setting.
    Structure and Function
    Educational emphasis on the interrelationship between the body’s structure
    and function enhances a DOs diagnostic and treatment skills. Osteopathic
    medical students receive extensive training in both the neuromusculoskeletal
    system and in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). The
    neuromusculoskeletal system is the body’s interconnected system of nerves,
    muscles and bones that make up two-thirds of our body mass. OMT is the
    therapeutic application of manual pressure or force to restore functionality
    and/or remove barriers to motion and healing.
    This unique training increases a DO’s understanding of how an injury or
    illness in one part of the body can affect another, enabling osteopathic
    physicians to effectively use their hands to both diagnose and treat patients
    with a goal of reducing or eliminating the need for medication and
    encouraging the body’s natural ability to heal.
    Whole-Person Care
    Osteopathic medicine’s patient-centered approach to healthcare also means
    DOs are specifically trained to engage with and listen to their patients to look
    beyond symptoms to lifestyle factors that may impact a patient’s health or
    recovery. This combination of a strong medical philosophy, rigorous medical
    and scientific training and a whole-person, hands-on approach positions
    DOs well to partner with their patients to achieve optimal health while
    prioritizing dignity in healthcare.
