What is Osteopathic Medicine?
Osteopathic medicine emphasizes the interrelated unity of all systems in the body, each working with the other to heal in times of illness.
Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs, are fully licensed physicians who practice their unique whole-person approach in every medical specialty.
DOs look beyond your symptoms to understand how lifestyle and environmental factors impact your wellbeing.
DOs practice medicine according to the latest science and technology, but also consider options to complement pharmaceuticals and surgery.
They complete additional training in OMT, a hands-on tool used to help diagnose, treat and prevent injury and illness.
What are the principles of Integrative Medicine?
- Patient and practitioner are partners in the healing process.
- All factors that influence health, wellness, and disease are taken into consideration, including body, mind, spirit, and community.
- Appropriate use of both conventional and alternative methods facilitates the body's innate healing response.
- Effective interventions that are natural and less invasive should be used whenever possible.
- Integrative medicine neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically.
- Good medicine is based in good science. It is inquiry-driven and open to new paradigms.
- Alongside the concept of treatment, the broader concepts of health promotion and the prevention of illness are paramount.
- Practitioners of integrative medicine should exemplify its principles and commit themselves to self-exploration and self-development.
About Tele-Medicine
THe future of medicine is Now
Thanks to tele-medicine, healthcare is more accessible than ever.
Doctors using tele-medicine are able to treat their patients virtually 83% of the time, according to one recent study, as many patients historically come into the office for minor conditions or questions that do no require in-person diagnosis or treatment.
According to the American Medical Association and Wellness Council of America, nearly 75% of all regular doctor, urgent care, and ER visits could be handled effectively via phone or video chat.
Benefits for patients: more regular contact with their doctor, save time and money on travel to appointments, speak to their doctor from comfort of their own home or office, shorter wait times, convenient on-demand care, and more personal involvement with their treatment decisions.

About Medical Marijuana
People have used marijuana, also called cannabis, for a variety of health conditions for at least 3,000 years. The marijuana plant contains chemicals that may help treat a range of illnesses and symptoms.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved marijuana for treating any health problems. However, some states (like Florida) allow its use for certain health purposes.
At Beyond Family Medicine, we guide you through the process of certification, and personalize your treatment plan. Our holistic, compassionate approach aims to help patients with chronic and/or debilitating medical conditions who have not been able to find adequate relief with conventional therapy.
