Treatment Beyond a Traditional M.D.

At ZionsvilleMedical.com, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Dr. Luke Nelligan is an Osteopathic Physician (D.O.). Dr. Luke can use all traditional medical treatments like an M.D., but he has more tools available from his special training. For example, if you have ongoing problems with back-pain, our unique OMT approaches can often provide relief without drugs.

What is an Osteopathic Physician?

Osteopathic Physicians are fully licensed physicians who treat the whole person. They graduate from medical school, prescribe drugs, and perform normal medical treatment. In addition, they look at and treat the musculoskeletal system since it reflects and affects the rest of the body.

D.O.'s are licensed in 50 states and reflect their wholistic training by treating the whole person as well as the illness. They stress prevention, nutrition, healthy lifestyles, exercise and use the latest diagnostic testing to determine the cause and to treat the illness. Symptoms of disease result from underlying causes, or abnormalities. By manipulating the musculoskeletal system, we help the body use its natural defense mechanisms to fight illness, and allow proper function to occur. Osteopathic physicians treat people, not symptoms.
