2 Medicine - Osteopathy A system of therapy based on the theory that the body is capable of making its own remedies against disease and other toxic conditions when it has normal structural relationship, favorable environmental conditions, and adequate nutrition. It utilizes generally accepted physical, medicinal, and surgical methods of diagnosis and therapy, while placing chief emphasis on the importance of normal body mechanics and manipulative methods of detecting and correcting faulty structure.

3 Medicine - Allopathy A system of therapeutics in which diseases are treated by producing a condition incompatible with or antagonistic to the condition to be cured or alleviated.

4 Medicine - Chiropractic A system of therapeutics based upon the claim that disease is caused by abnormal function of the nervous system. It attempts to restore normal function of the nervous system by manipulation and treatment of the structures of the human body, especially those of the spinal column.

5 Medicine - Homeopathy A system of therapeutics in which diseases are treated by administering minute doses of drugs which are capable of producing, in healthy persons, symptoms like those of the disease to be treated.

6 Medicine - Naturopathy A drugless system of therapy, making use of physical forces such as air, light, water, heat, massage, etc.

7 The physician diagnoses, prescribes medications for, and otherwise treats diseases and disorders of the human body. A physician may also perform surgery and often specializes in one aspect of medical care and treatment. Physicians hold either a doctor of medicine or osteopathic medicine degree. Definition of a Physician

8 Osteopathic Medicine A system of medical care with a philosophy that combines the needs of the patient with current practice of medicine, surgery and obstetrics, and emphasis on the interrelationships between structure and function, and an appreciation of the body s ability to heal itself. Foundations of Osteopathic Medicine, 1997: Williams & Wilkins

9 History of Osteopathic Medicine Osteopathic medicine is a unique form of American medical care that was developed in 1874 by frontier doctor Andrew Taylor Still. Dr. Still was dissatisfied with the effectiveness of 19th Century medicine. He believed that many of the medications of his day were useless or even harmful. Dr. Still was one of the first in his time to study the attributes of good health so that he could better understand the process of disease. In response, Dr. Still founded a philosophy of medicine based on ideas that date back to Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. The philosophy focuses on the unity of all body parts. He identified the musculoskeletal system as a key element of health. He recognized the body s ability to heal itself and stressed preventive medicine, eating properly and keeping fit.

10 Osteopathic Timeline 1874 Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, MD ( ) first proposed osteopathy 1892 First College of Osteopathic Medicine, the American School of Osteopathy (ASO), founded in Kirksville, Missouri (now the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine) 1893 First class graduated from ASO with 17 men and 5 women 1896 Vermont became first state to license D.O. s 1897 American Osteopathic Association (AOA) founded 1898 Second College of Osteopathic Medicine (now the Des Moines University Osteopathic Medical Center) 1917 AOA recognized as the accrediting body of osteopathic education 1970 First state university-affiliated college of osteopathic medicine (Michigan State University) established 1973 Full practice rights in all 50 states and District of Columbia accomplished 1983 First D.O. is appointed as flag officer in the medical corps of the military 2002 Over 48,000 practicing DO s in the US

11 The Four Tenets of Osteopathy The body is a unit; mind, body, and spirit. The body is capable of self-regulation, selfhealing, and health maintenance. Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated. Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function.

12 Additional Principles "The Rule of the Artery is Supreme" When blood and lymphatics flow freely, the tissues can perform their physiologic functions without impedance. Somatic components to disease are not only the manifestations of disease, but also are factors that contribute to the maintenance of the disease.

13 DO s are: What is a D.O.? Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Licensed by state & specialty boards Able to perform surgery & prescribe medication Trained and specialized in manipulation

14 D.O. s & M.D. s are alike... Four-year undergraduate degree Complete the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) Four years of education at an accredited medical college Complete/Pass the three step medical board examinations Complete a residency program (length depends on specialty) Complete/Pass state licensing examinations However, it s the ways that D.O. s & M.D. s are different that can bring an extra dimension to your family s health care.

15 D.O. s bring more to medicine... D.O. s practice a whole person approach to medicine. Instead of just treating specific symptoms or illnesses, they regard your body as an integrated whole. Osteopathic physicians focus on preventative healthcare. D.O. s receive extra training in the musculoskeletal system - your body's interconnected system of nerves, muscles and bones that make up two-thirds of its body mass. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is incorporated in the training and practice of osteopathic physicians.

16 D.O. s bring more to medicine (continued) This training provides osteopathic physicians with a better understanding of the ways that an injury or illness in one part of your body can affect another. It gives D.O. s a therapeutic and diagnostic advantage over those who do not receive additional specialized training. OMT allows physicians to use their hands to aid in the diagnosis of injury and illness and to encourage your body s natural tendency toward self-healing and maintenance of good health.

17 DO Specialties? Allergy & Immunology Anesthesiology Cardiology Dermatology Emergency Medicine Endocrinology, Diabetes, & Metabolism Family Practice Gastroenterology General Practice Geriatrics Infectious Disease Internal Medicine Manipulative Medicine Medical Genetics Nephrology Neurological Surgery Neurology Obstetrics & Gynecology Oncology (Cancer) Ophthalmology Orthopedics Otolaryngology Pathology Pediatrics Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Plastic Surgery Preventive Medicine Psychiatry Radiology Surgery Urology

18 Osteopathic Education How to become a licensed D.O. Successfully complete a Bachelor s degree Gain acceptance and graduate from an osteopathic medical school Successfully pass COMLEX Steps I, II, and III Complete the requirements for your state medical licensing board

24 Facts about D.O. s Currently, over 48,000 D.O. s practice in the US (estimated 80,000 by the year 2020). Over half of all D.O. s practice in the primary care areas of family practice, internal medicine, OB/GYN and pediatrics. D.O. s represent 5.5% of the total U.S. physician population and 10% of all U.S. military physicians. Each year, 100 million patient visits are made to D.O. s.

25 Osteopathic Medicine Today Today, osteopathic physicians continue to be on the cutting edge of modern medicine. D.O. s are able to combine today s awesome medical technology with the tools of their eyes, to see their patients as whole persons; their ears, to listen carefully to their patients; and their hands, to recognize structural dysfunction; in order to properly diagnose and treat injury and illness.
