Not all Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) regularly perform Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) as part of their practice. The use of OMM can vary widely among DOs based on several factors:

1. Specialty: DOs who practice in primary care fields such as family medicine, internal medicine, or pediatrics are more likely to use OMM regularly. Those who specialize in areas such as surgery, radiology, or other non-primary care specialties may use OMM less frequently or not at all.
2. Training and Interest: The extent to which a DO uses OMM can depend on their training, comfort level, and personal interest in the technique. While all DOs receive training in OMM during medical school, the depth of this training and the emphasis placed on it can vary by institution and by individual interest.
3. Practice Setting: The type of healthcare setting can influence the use of OMM. For example, DOs in solo or small group practices may have more flexibility to incorporate OMM into their patient care routines compared to those working in larger, hospital-based practices where time constraints and institutional practices might limit the use of OMM.
4. Patient Population: The needs and preferences of the patient population can also affect whether a DO uses OMM. Some patients may seek out DOs specifically for OMM, while others may be more interested in conventional medical treatments.

While all DOs are trained in OMM, not all choose to use it regularly in their practice. Those who do use OMM often find it to be a valuable tool in treating musculoskeletal issues, enhancing overall patient care, and providing a holistic approach to health.

All DOs learn a basic introduction to OMM in the first two years of medical school. While some continue to utilize certain diagnostic methods or manual techniques throughout their careers, only a few choose to pursue further training in OMM during residency or fellowship, and they are deemed specialists in the field. Any DO can use OMM, but skill and comfort level may vary with experience.

Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine is a recognized specialty within osteopathic medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders using osteopathic principles and manipulative treatment. Here are some key points about ONMM:

1. Specialization: ONMM specialists are DOs who have completed additional training and certification in neuromusculoskeletal medicine and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). This specialization goes beyond the general training in OMT that all DOs receive.

2. Training: To become an ONMM specialist, a DO typically completes a residency program in neuromusculoskeletal medicine, which provides advanced training in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, as well as in the use of OMT.

3. Scope of Practice: ONMM specialists often treat conditions such as chronic pain, sports injuries, and other musculoskeletal issues. They use a variety of techniques, including OMT, to address these conditions, focusing on the body’s interconnected systems and the relationship between structure and function.

4. Certification: After completing their residency, ONMM specialists can become board-certified by passing exams administered by the American Osteopathic Board of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (AOBNMM).

ONMM specialists play a crucial role in providing comprehensive care that integrates osteopathic manipulative techniques with broader medical knowledge, emphasizing the body’s natural ability to heal and maintain health.

Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine or ONMM is the official name of the specialty. It is a board eligible specialty under ACGME and composed mainly of DOs who have a special interest in or aptitude for OMM in medical school. MDs are also allowed to specialize in ONMM after receiving additional training, as they do not routinely receive any undergraduate instruction in osteopathic manipulation.
