a DO bone doctor?

DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Osteopathic medicine is a holistic approach to patient care that emphasizes the importance of the musculoskeletal system in overall health. DOs are licensed to practice medicine and surgery in all 50 states, and they receive additional training in osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). OMM is a hands-on technique that uses gentle pressure to correct misalignments in the body and improve function.

Some of the benefits of seeing a DO bone doctor include:

* A holistic approach to care that takes into account the whole person, not just the symptoms

* Additional training in osteopathic manipulative medicine, which can be used to treat a variety of conditions

* A focus on preventive care and wellness

* A more personalized approach to care

If you are looking for a primary care physician or a specialist for a musculoskeletal condition, a DO bone doctor may be a good option for you.
