The basic tenets of osteopathic medicine are:

• The body is a unit of mind, body, and spirit.
• The body is capable of self-healing.
• Structure and function are interrelated.
• Rational treatment is based on the understanding of these principles.

This comprehensive approach to patient care includes osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) which utilizes osteopathic philosophy, structural diagnosis and use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in the diagnosis and management of patients.
