Why Donate?
To support training the next generation of Osteopathic physicians to become extraordinary doctors, with the vision and talent to diagnose and treat even the most challenging health disorders.
How Can Osteopathy Help?
Through hands-on diagnosis, the physician can detect and treat anatomical dysfunction that is uniquely imprinted in a patient’s body. Their sense of touch is trained to feel anatomical disorders that may not appear on an imaging scan, including blockages in fluid, trauma to tissues, and compression in bones.
Research
Since its inception, the Osteopathic Cranial Academy has supported research for Cranial Osteopathy, more recently referred to as Osteopathic Cranial Manipulative Medicine (OCMM). The principles of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field have remained the same as originally articulated by William Garner Sutherland, DO, its founder over 80 years ago.
