What Is Osteopathic Treatment?

Osteopathic manipulative treatment is a set of hands-on techniques used by osteopathic physicians (DOs) to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury. Using these techniques, the doctor moves a patient’s muscles and joints with stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance.
