Osteopathic medicine is a field of complementary medicine that emphasizes a whole-person approach to care, focusing not just on the treatment of conditions but on the promotion of overall health and well-being. It claims to work with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. Osteopathic physicians, also known as DOs (Doctors of Osteopathy), are fully licensed to practice medicine and surgery in all 50 states of the U.S. and in many other parts of the world.
