What is a D.O.?
D.O. abbreviation is for: Doctor of Osteopathy. A D.O. or Doctor of Osteopathy, is a physician who is fully licensed in all states as a fully qualified Doctor of Medicine. The training at osteopathic medical schools is equal to that of m.d. doctors, except that D.O. physicians have additional training. One special training is “osteopathic manipulative medicine” which offers these doctors another method for helping patients. Omm helps patients benefit from relief of pain and other symptoms, by a hands-on technique to manually influence the muscles and their attachment to the bones. The reference to the bone, and relieving pain without the use of medication, is actually where the Osteo-path-ic name comes from. D.O. medical schools also promote certain philosophies including: Treat the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. Teach all doctors first to be qualified to be a general doctor working in a rural area, even if none of the subspecialties are available. Teach doctors to help the patient participate in their health so that the body can help heal itself. Historically, M. Ds and D.O.s practiced at different hospitals with great segregation. When dr miller started the medical practice of medicine in 1984, she and 2 other female d.o.s were invited to be on the hillcrest medical center staff. Their research showed women wanted more women doctors and our medical class had the highest number of females to date. Prior to that. D.O.s only practiced at the osteopathic hospital in tulsa. No m.d.s were invited to be on staff. Now that the prejudice and segregation is gone. We both practice equally. D.O. physicians represent all specialties, the same as m.d. physicians. Both allopathic (M.D.) and osteopathic (D.O.) doctors work together in groups and hospitals and make mutual referrals.
