Dr. Rosen's Care Philosophy

The practice of Osteopathy was discovered in 1874 by a civil war surgeon, named Andrew Taylor Still, MD. Dr. Still understood that human beings are an expression of natural law, with an intimate relationship to universal life principles, and the ability to heal ourselves. Our physiology organizes around traumatic life events, with enough flexibility to continue the normal activities daily life. Human suffering results when we lose our physiologic flexibility. A single event, or series of events overwhelms our physiology, and disrupts its self restorative capacity. The intent of Osteopathy is restorative. Through a gentle hands-on manipulative treatment, innate therapeutic forces are supported, for the return of optimal health.

A specialty is the branch of medicine in which a doctor has completed advanced clinical training and education. Most doctors are board certified in their specialty. To receive the best healthcare for your needs, consider choosing a doctor who specializes in your particular medical condition. A specialist will concentrate on your specific needs and will be familiar with the best methods of treatment. 

Examples of specialists are a pediatrician who focuses on the physical, emotional, and social health of children from birth to young adulthood; or a cardiologist who specializes in diseases and conditions of the heart and blood vessels. 

A doctor may have more than one specialty, along with one or more subspecialties. For instance, a doctor could specialize in internal medicine and have a subspecialty in infectious disease. A subspecialty is a concentration within a specialty. 

Your primary care doctor (who is often a specialist in family medicine or internal medicine) can help you choose the right type of specialist. In fact, some health insurance plans require a referral from your primary care doctor before you visit a specialist.
