چکیده
Osteopathic physicians (D.O.s) are licensed, as are allopathic physicians (M.D.s), to give complete medical care to their patients. Osteopathic physicians are trained in schools of osteopathic medicine where they complete the same basic course work as do allopathic physicians. In addition, they are taught to diagnose and relieve pain through the use of manipulative therapy, which is a hands-on technique based on the principles of osteopathic medicine.
