Neuromusculoskeletal medicine
Neuromusculoskeletal medicine is a specialty in osteopathic medicine. It was defined to recognize doctors who had become experts in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal and related neurological medical problems. Both DOs and MDs have the option to train and practice in any of the medical specialties and sub-specialties. Neuromusculoskeletal medicine, however, is a specialty which is available only to DOs who have first completed a one-year AOA-approved residency, a traditional two-year osteopathic internship, or an integrated three-year program.
