About Osteopathic
Manual Practice
Osteopathy is an established globally-recognized system of healthcare that relies on manual contact for diagnosis and treatment. It respects the relationship of body, mind and spirit in health and disease; it lays emphasis on the structural and functional integrity of the body and the body’s intrinsic tendency for self-healing.
Osteopathy (D.O) and Osteopathic Manual Practice (OMP) share the same philosophy and principles, but they are quite different concerning the training received and clinical application.
As the name indicates, osteopathic physicians are medical doctors almost exclusively trained in the US. They learn to prescribe drugs, perform surgery, deliver babies, and have the prerequisites to specialize in other branches of medicine.
Osteopathic Manual Practitioners (or European Style Osteopaths) are not MDs – they are not trained in allopathic medicine but purely osteopathic manual treatment.
