The importance of the musculo-skeletal system
A core part of Osteopathic Medicine is an understanding of how all the body’s systems are interconnected and how each one affects the other. Additionally, special attention is given to the musculo-skeletal system, which often reflects and influences the condition of other body systems. The body’s anatomy, including bones, muscles, connective tissue, is given the most careful evaluation as part of every examination.
