From their first days of medical school, DOs are trained to look beyond your symptoms to understand how lifestyle and environmental factors impact your well-being. They practice medicine according to the latest science and technology, but also consider options to complement pharmaceuticals and surgery.
As part of their education, DOs receive special training in the musculoskeletal system: your body’s interconnected system of nerves, muscles and bones. By combining this knowledge with the latest advances in medical technology, they offer patients the most comprehensive care available in healthcare today.
By focusing on prevention and tuning into how a patient’s lifestyle and environment can impact their wellbeing, DOs strive to help their patients be truly healthy in mind, body and spirit — not just free of symptoms. (www.Osteopathic.org)
