Osteopathic Medicine is a system of health care delivered by licensed physicians and
surgeons with a distinctive philosophy that emphasizes prevention and treatment
of the causative factors in disease processes. They aim to remove systemic
impediments to total health. Finding and relieving somatic dysfunctions or
chronic and limiting musculoskeletal misalignments through OMM is only one of
the important ways osteopathic physicians help their patients.
At no other time in the history of medicine has there been so much attention
focused on the contributions Osteopathic Medicine makes to health care. The ORC
will play a critical role in research, public education, and service in
representing and advocating for the Osteopathic profession in the initiatives
that emerge from the US Bone and Joint Decade (2002-2011). The ORC will work in
partnership with other national organizations to secure funding and legislative
initiatives to expand evidence-based health care opportunities and
research.
