What is a D.O?
A D.O., Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, is
a licensed physician who, in addition to prescribing
medication and performing surgery, may utilize a variety of
manual diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. As with an
MD, an osteopathic physician undergoes four years of medical
school training, three or more years of specialty residency
training, and board eligibility certification. As a result,
the medical practice of MDs and DOs can be virtually
identical. TOP
However, in addition to the traditional
basic clinical training, DOs are taught to analyze the patient
with a more holistic and hands-on approach. The emphasis is on
the patient as a whole, rather than dissecting the patients
physical problems as manifestations of individual disease
components. Particular emphasis is placed on problems related
to the neuromuscular and muskuloskeletal system, utilizing a
variety of available modalities, both medical and manual for
optimal treatment. In a theoretical sense, a DO is often
observed to be a hybrid of an MD, chiropractor, and physical
therapist. The scope of what individual DOs offer is as
diverse the training.
Dr. Jason's Mission Statement
"The convergence of our medical and
information technology has brought immense advancements in
medical knowledge. Not only are we constantly inundated with
new medical information, but our disappearing global
boundaries have exposed us to alternative cures promised to us
by other healing systems. Yet, trying to stay afloat in the
tidal wave of information can result in elevated blood
pressure, throbbing headaches, and increased anxiety! My hope
is to elucidate your options in a clear and concise manner,
and to direct you towards reliable resources recognized by the
accredited medical community. Only by being properly educated
about these options can we take a more active, rather than
passive, approach with our health maintenance. I look forward
to our fruitful journey together." |
