Recommended Resources for Finding an Osteopathic Physician

If you’re seeking Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) or (Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT))—a hands-on approach to healthcare practiced by Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs)—you’re looking for a treatment that goes beyond symptoms to address the root causes of illness and imbalance.

OMM uses the physician’s hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury by supporting the body’s structure-function relationship, especially within the musculoskeletal system. This approach helps restore the body’s natural ability to heal, maintain balance, and achieve optimal health.

To find osteopathic physician who align with this philosophy, we recommend the following trusted directories:

Discover physicians who specialize in Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and other areas of osteopathic care.

Locate physicians with expertise in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) and Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF) for a comprehensive, hands-on approach to your health and well-being.

Both directories provide reliable starting points to connect with qualified and compassionate osteopathic physicians near you.

We encourage patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to explore these directories when seeking care grounded in the principles of osteopathic medicine.
