The Starting Gate Episode 29: Hands-On Healing and Healthcare That Listens: DPC & Osteopathic Medicine Explained with Dr. Selena Raines
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Selena Raines, a board-certified family physician and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, for a refreshing look at how healthcare can work differently for patients. We explore Direct Primary Care (DPC): what it is, how it’s changing the patient-doctor relationship, and why more doctors are moving away from traditional insurance-based models.
Dr. Raines also explains the difference in training between DOs (Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine) and MDs, helping listeners understand what makes osteopathic medicine unique. We dive into osteopathic manipulation—a hands-on treatment approach used for conditions like back pain, headaches, and even chronic medical issues—and how it differs from chiropractic care.
Tune in to gain a better understanding of your options—and how to take charge of your healthcare
