What is Osteopathic Medicine?
Osteopathic medicine is a distinct American branch of evidence-based, mainstream medicine that stresses promoting health and preventing illness as much as reacting to disease. D.O.s are physicians and surgeons who emphasize a holistic approach to treatment and care. They have a full range of medical treatment options, including surgery, prescribing drugs, and manual medicine. Learn more about osteopathic medicine.
