The Osteopathic Difference: Health and Wellness
Osteopathic physicians understand how all of the body's systems are interconnected, and how
each one affects the other systems of the body. This approach focuses special attention on the
musculoskeletal system, which both reflects and influences the condition of all other body systems.
The core of the osteopathic approach is to treat the whole person and not just the symptoms.
A Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) assesses your overall health including home, work, and family life.
When making a diagnosis, Dr. Howard considers all factors influencing your physical, mental,
emotional, and spiritual health. She also focuses on preventive healthcare to assist you in avoiding
disease, illness, and future injury.

“The body is capable of healing itself, even though it must constantly struggle with
physical, emotional, chemical, and nutritional stressors. My job is to listen carefully to
the patient, watch how the body responds and encourage the body to achieve
optimum wellness.”
Cheryl L. Howard, Doctor of Osteopathy
Osteopathic medicine is a philosophy, a science, and an art. Its philosophy embraces
the concept of unity of body, structure, and function in health and disease. Its science
includes the clinical, physical, and biological sciences related to the maintenance of
health and the prevention, cure, and alleviation of disease. Its art is the application
of the philosophy and the science in the practice of osteopathic medicine and surgery
in all its branches and specialties.
Health is based on the natural capacity of the human organism to resist and combat
noxious influences in the environment and to compensate for their effects, and to meet
with adequate reserve the usual stresses of daily life and the occasional severe stresses
brought about by extreme environmental factors and activities.
Disease begins when this natural capacity is reduced, or when it is overcome by unhealthy influences.
Four Key Principles of Osteopathic Medicine are:
I.
II.
III.
IV.
Dr. Howard uses her background in Family and Emergency medicine to treat a
wide array of health issues.

The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit.
The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance.
Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.
Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of
body unit, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function.
