Osteopathic Medicine (OM) is a branch of medical practice that emphasizes a holistic approach to healthcare, focusing on the interrelationship between the body's structure and function. Practitioners, known as Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs), are fully licensed physicians who receive additional training in the musculoskeletal system and employ techniques such as osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness and injury.
