History
While there are many similarities between osteopathic and allopathic physicians, there are also some important differences. First of all, the osteopathic philosophy differs from the allopathic philosophy. The osteopathic philosophy focuses on a holistic approach to practicing medicine, meaning treating the patient as a whole--not just the symptoms or injuries. This holistic approach acknowledges that all the body systems are interconnected and that the musculoskeletal system is especially important in reflecting and affecting the condition of all the other systems. Osteopathic schools require up to 200 hours of manipulation training on top of the medical coursework, demonstrating the emphasis placed on the musculoskeletal system. This training teaches students manual therapy and manipulation techniques, adding another tool to traditional forms of diagnosis and treatment to effectively care for patients.
