Doctors of Osteopathy are fully licensed physicians practicing in every healthcare specialty throughout the United States. DO’s are also trained in the safe and gentle practice of Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT).

DO’s and MD’s are both fully licensed physicians able to practice without limitations. Osteopaths and Chiropractors are both trained to perform manipulation. However, OMT (Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment) and Chiropractic adjustments are different. Chiropractors have less education and training and are not licensed to prescribe drugs or perform surgery. For more information on this topic visit our Credentials of a DO section.

OMT is a safe and gentle manual therapy which is covered by most insurance.
