104. How an Osteopathic Physician Can Help Your Pain, Injuries, Headaches, Urination Issues, and even Pneumonia with Dr. Jay Danto, DO, Founder of Danto Osteopathic Clinic

Dr. Danto earned both his Bachelor of Science in Psychology and his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Michigan State University (MSU). This past July Dr. Danto opened the Danto Osteopathic Clinic in Kansas City, Missouri. This return to private practice comes after a 12-year career in academic medicine where he educated osteopathic medical students and physicians at all levels of training. During that time, he served as a residency program director, Department Chair for 3 colleges of Osteopathic Medicine, and became a national and international lecturer. He is dually boarded in Family Practice and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, as well as Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine.  Dr. Danto continues to serve on national committees. He has been honored for his dedication to postgraduate education and to the Osteopathic Profession. He has authored numerous articles, books, and presentations, including "Normalization of Muscle Function," which is currently a resource for board certification. To facilitate the integration of the concepts of Positive Psychology into patient care, Dr. Danto wrote "Your Guided Journey to a Happier Life," which utilizes guided journaling to knit together scientifically researched and successful positive psychology practices that have proven useful for patient care. Dr. Jay Danto, DO has decades of a lot of positive experiences with osteopathic manipulation, including treating a patient with a headache, a patient with urinary problems, and a patient with chronic kidney infections. He also discussed the differences between osteopathic manipulation and chiropractic, explaining that it is about listening to the body and responding to what it tells you to do. He discusses the relationship between soft tissue injuries and bone fractures, and how osteopathic manipulation can help restore a person's life by treating pain, fatigue, depression, and other chronic health issues. He also discussed the correlation between osteopathic manipulation and acupuncture, and how both can be beneficial for treating headaches and migraines. Dr. Jay Danto discusses the safety of osteopathic manipulation and shared a story of a patient who had been in chronic pain for years. He also discussed the benefits of osteopathic manipulation and how it can help save lives. I also share my experience of leaving a medical center due to a lack of understanding of osteopathic manipulation and how it can be beneficial to patients.
