Definition of Osteopathic Medicine - ANSWERa 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

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.
