Debbi Salom, D.O.
Osteopathic Physician
About Osteopathic Medicine
What is a DO? In the United States, doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs, are fully licensed physicians who practice in all areas of medicine. Emphasizing a whole-person approach to treatment and care, DOs are trained to listen and partner with their patients to help them fully fulfill their health potential.
Like MDs, DOs attend four years of medical school, then complete residency training in hospitals and clinics in their given specialty. In addition to classic medical training, ostheopathic physicians receive a foundation in ostheopathic principles and ostheopathic manipulative medicine. DOs learn to look beyond the symptoms of illness and disease to examine the whole patient, and partner with patients to help prevent illness and injury. DOs are trained to promote the body's natural tendency towards health and self healing, we practice according to the latest science and use the latest technology.
