Four Tenants of Osteopathy

1. The body is a unit. The physician uses a whole-person approach to wellness and disease
prevention.

2. The body has self-protecting and regulating mechanisms. The body as well as the mind and spirit will compensate to maintain health.

3. Structure and function are inter-related. All the body’s systems are inter-related and interdependent. An imbalance in one system affects the other systems.

4. The final principle states that all three prior tenants will be addressed in creating the patient’s
treatment plan.
