Let’s clear the air—Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) is grounded in science and NOT some kind of mystical "woo woo" or magic that may be associated with most forms of bodywork and energy work. Here’s why: Evidence-Based Practice: Osteopathic Physicians (DOs) in the US are Board Certified Physicians who go through medical school just like our MD colleagues; however, we learn an additional 200+ hours of in-depth anatomy and hands-on approach to treating the human body. There are well-studied evidence-based articles demonstrating the efficacy of Osteopathic Treatments, especially on back pain and prognosis and recovery of patients in the hospital. Hands-On Healing, Whole-Body Approach, Research-Backed. Board Certified Medical Doctors: Osteopaths (DOs) are fully licensed doctors who can prescribe medication, perform surgeries, and provide medical care focused on mind, body, & spirit. Let’s embrace the true science and benefits of Osteopathic Medicine!
