If you are unfamiliar with the osteopathic approach to medicine,
the first thing you should know is this: Doctors of Osteopathy
complete the same length of training as M.D.’s--4 years of college,
followed by 4 years of medical school and an additional 3 to 6 years of
specialty training--and they take comparable state exams to practice
medicine. Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.’s) prescribe medication and perform
surgery, as do M.D.’s. They can be found in all specialty and subspecialty areas
of medicine, from anesthesia to neurosurgery to radiology.

It is in the overall approach to health that these two types of medicine differ, and it is this
difference that led Dr. Radnovich to become a D.O.

Osteopathic physicians diagnose and treat health problems from a whole-person point of view. They look at the “big picture” and consider everything about you, not just your symptoms. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, or OMT, is another difference. OMT is a hands-on way of diagnosing and treating illness or injury. OMT uses stretching, gentle pressure, pushing and resistance to move your muscles and joints (including the joints in your back). Many patients find this kind of treatment helpful in their recovery. For others, OMT is the treatment that gets them better. Dr. Radnovich has received specialized training and is board certified in using OMT.

His training ensures that you’ll always get treatment that is developed for your unique situation. The very nature of osteopathic medicine also means that good communication, comfort and trust are essential. It’s why we all take the time to really know you and encourage you to know us. Your excellent care depends on it.
