A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) is a physician, like a Medical Doctor (M.D.), who is trained to diagnose and treat medical conditions and perform surgeries. DOs and MDs undergo the same training. They both go to medical school, go to residency, and may go on to fellowships. They may both become licensed by the same licensing boards. They both have the same equivalent license to practice medicine unrestricted in all 50 states. Typically, both are seen working together in many areas of medicine.

The treatment usually includes stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance to reduce pain, increase mobility, and promote healing. This treatment is only available in the office.
