Why Osteopathic Medicine?
Osteopathic Doctors (DO’s) and Medical (Allopathic) Doctors (MD’s) are recognized and licensed equally in the United States. Their medical school training is identical except for the additional 200 hours of training in Musculoskeletal and Manipulative Medicine that DO’s are required to complete. DO’s can specialize in any field of medicine. We do our training rotations and residencies alongside our MD colleagues, our testing is intermingled as are our places of work, so what is different?
Osteopathic Medicine is an American approach to medicine that was developed by an MD who felt that conventional medicine was failing its patients. The founder, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, MD, opened the first Osteopathic Medical school in Kirksville, Missouri, in 1892. Since then, generations of DO’s have continued to build on and expand on Dr. Still’s original principles and practices. Osteopathic Medicine takes a different approach in teaching medical concepts and in implementing those differences into the patient experience. DO’s are trained in a more holistic approach where a patient is seen as a person and not a collection of symptoms to be prescribed drugs or therapies. In Osteopathic medicine we are trained that:
1- The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing and health maintenance.
2- Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated. (Musculoskeletal)
3- Rational treatment is based on an understanding of these principles: body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function.
4- Health requires balance between Body, Mind and Spirit
Because of the difference in approach, our patient care involves trying to figure out what is really wrong, what can and cannot be fixed, and then working with the individual to assist them in their journey to optimum health.
