Osteopathy is unique in that D.O.s (see below) have full medical training and licensing, as well as in-depth training in the body structure, anatomy and physiology, and how these relate to health and illness. When combined with a philosophy that structure and function are always interrelated, and the practice of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), dramatic improvements in previously unsolvable problems often occur.

About D.O.s
A Doctor of Osteopathy (D. O.) is a fully licensed physician whose training includes, beyond the normal medical curriculum, extensive training in manual manipulation. Although many osteopathic physicians are in family practice or providing specialty care, some have chosen to focus their practice on the hands on approach that makes osteopathy unique. Of these, some have pursued additional training in cranial osteopathy. At this clinic, these techniques are used to improve function through addressing body structure.
