Osteopathic Principles

Each person is a unit of body, mind and spirit.

The body has an intrinsic capability of self-regulation, self-healing and health maintenance.

Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.

Rational treatment of patients is based upon an understanding of these basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function.
