While some manipulation is still used to treat patients, most osteopaths today rely heavily on drugs and surgery to treat patients.

Osteopathic medicine is a system of health care based on the premise that disease is the result of the relationship between anatomical structure and physiological function. Structure and function are considered interdependent and a normally functioning musculoskeletal system plays an important role in wellness, disease prevention and recover. Osteopathic physicians may use all accepted medical means including surgery, drugs, patient education and manipulation of the body.
