Doctors of osteopathy receive extra training in the musculoskeletal system which helps them better understand how injury or illness can affect the entire body. Being a DO, Dr. Goettsch practices medicine by integrating the body as a whole, rather than just treating symptoms. This gives your medical attention a little “something extra.”
