In this episode with Dr. Grady Kaiser, DO we'll explore the principles and practices of this alternative approach to healthcare and he will answer our question— What is Osteopathic Medicine.

Osteopathic medicine is a form of medical practice that emphasizes the interconnection between the body's structure and its function. Osteopathic physicians, also known as DOs, undergo the same training and licensing as traditional medical doctors (MDs). However, DOs also receive specialized training in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), a hands-on technique that focuses on the musculoskeletal system to promote healing and alleviate pain.

One of the key principles of osteopathic medicine is the idea that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. Osteopathic physicians view patients as whole people, rather than just a collection of symptoms or ailments. They take into account the patient's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and work to identify and address the root causes of their health issues.

In this episode, we'll hear from experts in the field of osteopathic medicine, as well as patients who have experienced the benefits of this approach firsthand. We'll also explore some of the common conditions that osteopathic physicians treat, such as back pain, migraines, and asthma.

Whether you're a healthcare professional or simply curious about alternative forms of medicine, this episode is sure to provide valuable insights into the world of osteopathic medicine. So tune in and discover the power of a whole-person approach to healthcare!
