Episode 174: Dr. Sean Kerger, D.O.- Sports Medicine- It's Game Time!
S
14:26Sean KergerGUEST
ONMM is the residency training surrounding the use of osteopathic manipulative medicine in the care of patients.
S
14:35Sean KergerGUEST
And that training and that practice really does have a lot of overlap, as you're implying here, with sports medicine.
S
14:44Sean KergerGUEST
We're focused on the diagnosis and treatment of the musculoskeletal system, although sports medicine obviously also deals with the internal medicine of treating athletes as well.
S
14:53Sean KergerGUEST
So things like managing heart conditions, diabetes, renal failure, all of these conditions, seizure disorders in athletes, all of these things are more sort of internal medicine kind of components, but how they affect performance and athletic competition is where the nuance for sports medicine can come in.
S
15:13Sean KergerGUEST
ONMM is really looking at patients from an osteopathic standpoint, but also a musculoskeletal standpoint.
