Osteopathic Medicine
副标题
Osteopathic medicine takes a whole-person approach to healthcare, looking beyond symptoms to address the root causes of disease. While it includes conventional medical treatments, it uniquely examines how the musculoskeletal system interacts with lifestyle, environment, and mental health to provide comprehensive care that emphasizes prevention rather than just symptom management.
Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) are fully licensed physicians who complete the same medical training as MDs, plus hundreds of additional hours in musculoskeletal system treatment. They can specialize in any medical field—from family medicine to surgery—while maintaining their distinctive focus on the body's interconnected systems and natural healing capacity.
