Osteopathic Physician
Save
Osteopathic Physician is focused on understanding and solving problems related to conditions of the human body. Osteopathic Physicians often seek to understand the interconnected nature of the human body and treat patients in a holistic manner. These medical professionals pay special attention to the human body's ability to heal itself and ways to support that healing process through the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment, or OMT. An Osteopathic Physician’s treatment approach integrates conventional medical approaches with the principles of OMT.
Understanding Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment
Osteopathic manipulative treatment is the practice of using the hands to diagnose and treat a variety of medical conditions. OMT is based on the idea that the body is a self-healing organism and that the physician can help facilitate that healing process by manipulating the body's structure. Common conditions that are addressed using OMT include musculoskeletal pain, headaches, and digestive problems.
