• Headaches
• Pediatric Care
  American osteopathic physicians are fully licensed physicians and surgeons. To become licensed, they must graduate from an osteopathic medical school accredited by the American Osteopathic Association’s Commission of Osteopathic College Accreditation (AOACOCA). After completing osteopathic medical school, D.O.s serve a one-year internship. During that year, they gain hands-on experience in internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, family practice, pediatrics and surgery. Following the internship year, most D.O.’s continue their education by entering a residency program in their chosen specialty.
• Primary Care
  There are currently more than 55,000 D.O.s in the United States, with 65 percent of them in primary care areas of family practice, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology and pediatrics. D.O.s comprise 6 percent of the total physician population and 18 percent of all physicians in the military. By the year 2020, there will be 100,000 osteopathic physicians in practice in the United States. Each year, 100 million patient visits are made to D.O.s. In the USA, an osteopathic physician is a fully licensed and trained physician but possesses the additional skill of osteopathic manipulation. Each DO is licensed by each individual state to practice Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery.

• MRI
  Osteopathic physicians utilize all of the recognized procedures and modern technologies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, including medications, X-rays, MRI’s, and surgery. In addition, the D.O. assesses the musculoskeletal system by the use of a finely trained sense of touch in a process called palpatory diagnosis. Disorders found in the musculoskeletal system are treated by the introduction of carefully applied manual forces, directed to the bones, muscles and joints, in a type of treatment called Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT). Osteopathic manipulation of the musculoskeletal system is a proven technique for many diagnoses and treatments. Often, it can provide an alternative to pain medications or surgery.
