QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Definition of Osteopathic Medicine - Correct Answers -a comprehensive system of
healthcare based upon a specific philosophy and distinctive art. Our philosophy and
principles embrace holistic evaluation and treatment of patients to obtain the best
possible outcomes in medical care. Our art is the use of sensitive palpatory diagnostic
skills and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to assist in facilitating the patient's
own healing abilities. Hands-on treatment is beneficial not only for a variety of
musculoskeletal problems, but also for visceral, lymphatic, autonomic, central and
peripheral nervous system disorders. OMT works to balance the body, mind, and spirit
of the individual and may influence bioenergetic realms. It is what distinguishes and
separates us from the allopathic profession and all other healthcare professionals.
