Pediatric Care
The first Osteopathic medical school, the American School of Osteopathy opened in 1892. Today there are 26 schools with 32 campuses. DO medical students complete 4 years of Osteopathic medical school, covering all of the standard training in the basic sciences and clinical medicine that an MD medical education would cover. Similarly, they receive two years of clinical training in hospitals, out-patient offices and clinics. Their training covers Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Psychiatry, Emergency Medicine, and all aspects of Internal Medicine. In addition, DO medical students complete another 500 hours of training and study in anatomy and manual medicine. Successful completion of this curriculum leads to a Doctor of Osteopathy degree (D.O.).
Ear Infections
The process of birth may result in structural changes that may or may not be observed by pediatricians. A skilled practitioner of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field may gently help to resolve Torticollis, shoulder and collar bone distortions, or other obvious structural abnormalities. Subtle strains on the head and neck may predispose a baby to feeding difficulties, ear infections, or neurodevelopmental issues. This gentle form of treatment can play a significant role in reducing these discomforts.
Family Practice
DOs are fully licensed physicians who are authorized to prescribe medication and perform surgery. While attending their own medical schools, DOs are responsible for the same academic discipline as their MD colleagues and receive an additional 300 to 500 hours in the study of the body’s musculoskeletal system. Most graduates from osteopathic medical school go on to osteopathic (DO) or allopathic (MD) residencies to perform all specialties including family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, emergency medicine, psychiatry and surgery. Some DOs continue with their study of anatomy, physiology and OMM and incorporate traditional osteopathic techniques of diagnosis and treatment into their medical practice. A small percentage of osteopaths choose OMT as their specialty. Physicians who wish to pursue Osteopathy ion the Cranial Field must take additional courses and train an additional five years in practice to be certified in this area of expertise.

Sports Medicine
Dr. Pelkey sees patients of all ages, from babies to older adults. Most commonly people come in with complaints of pain, such as headaches (including migraines and jaw issues), neck and back pain, as well as problems in the arms and legs such as carpal tunnel syndrome, knee and hip pain, etc. These problems can be chronic or related to sports injuries, car accidents and other traumas. Osteopathic care can help all medical concerns and lead to overall wellness. It is useful for respiratory concerns like asthma, circulation, digestion (such as heartburn), sleep and chronic issues like fatigue and rheumatologic conditions. Osteopathy is gentle enough for babies, particularly useful after difficult births, and for pregnant and nursing women who wish to avoid medications as well as older adults who prefer body treatment without strong forces. As Osteopathy involves a truly holistic approach, it supports the body’s ability to self-regulate by restoring its normal structure and function. Therefore, Osteopathic Manipulation can be helpful in a wide range of health issues.
