Osteopathy is a branch of alternative medicine that focuses on the holistic approach to healthcare, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the body's structure and function. Osteopathic practitioners, known as osteopaths or Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs), are trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent various health issues, with a particular emphasis on the musculoskeletal system.
Osteopaths believe that the body has the inherent ability to heal itself, and they use a hands-on approach to treatment, including osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT). OMT involves using the hands to apply techniques like stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance to manipulate the muscles and joints to improve their function, alleviate pain, and enhance overall health.
In addition to OMT, osteopathic physicians receive conventional medical training and can prescribe medications, perform surgery, and provide medical care like any other medical doctor. Osteopathic medicine places importance on a patient-centered, whole-person approach to healthcare, considering not only physical symptoms but also lifestyle, nutrition, and other factors that can impact a person's well-being.
