D.O.’ s are complete doctors who practice all types of medicine. These D.O. general practitioners, surgeons, and specialists use state of the art technology to diagnose and treat disease. Osteopathic physicians do more because only D.O.’s are qualified to perform Osteopathic Manipulation.

This is the technique when they use their hands to treat patients, as a result the body’s circulation and skeletal structure improve. Osteopathic physicians treat the whole person rather than just the symptoms of the injury, disease, or injury. They emphasize preventative medicine, healthy lifestyle and proper diet and exercise. They care for your overall health and well-being.

D.O.’s are highly educated physicians who offer something extra in the way they treat their patients. D.O.’s and M.D.’s are alike in that they both utilize all scientifically accepted methods of diagnosis and treatment, including the use of medication and surgery. Educational requirements are the same as D.O.’s and M.D.’s are examined by the same State licensing board.
