Bio
A frequent presenter on OMM and women’s health, Dr. Bell has held numerous leadership roles and maintains active membership in the AOA, AOMA, AAO, ACOOG, and the Osteopathic Cranial Academy.
In her recent clinical practice at Mountain Park Health Center and Midwestern Multispecialty Clinic, Dr. Bell provided OB/GYN care for women while continuing her lifelong commitment to hands-on osteopathic treatment for patients of all ages—from newborns to seniors. She integrates OMM including Cranial-Sacral techniques and Biodynamics to address structural imbalances, chronic pain, headaches, and overall well-being. Her approach reflects the foundational osteopathic tenets: that the body is a unit of body, mind, and spirit; that structure and function are interrelated; and that the body possesses an inherent capacity for self-healing.
Through her teaching, clinical care, and leadership, Dr. Bell continues to champion the osteopathic tradition where the science of medicine meets the art of healing.D.O.s vs M.D.s

Holistic Approach
The core principle of osteopathic medicine is a “whole-person” approach to patient care. D.O.s are trained to look beyond specific symptoms to understand how a patient’s lifestyle, environment, and physical well-being are interconnected and affect their overall health.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (O.M.T.)
D.O.s receive additional training in a hands-on diagnostic and treatment technique called Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (O.M.T.). This involves using their hands to diagnose and treat illnesses or injuries by applying gentle pressure, stretching, and resistance to help the body’s musculoskeletal system function properly.
While M.D.s traditionally follow an allopathic, or “disease-based,” model, many have also adopted a more holistic view of patient care. In modern medicine, the day-to-day practice of a D.O. and an M.D. can be very similar, and they often work side-by-side in the same hospitals and clinics. The choice between the two often comes down to personal preference for a patient’s approach to care.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DO? A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine?
Both D.O.s and M.D.s (Doctors of Medicine) are fully licensed physicians who are equally qualified to practice medicine, perform surgery, and prescribe medications in all 50 states of the U.S. and in many other countries. They complete similar rigorous training, including four years of medical school and a residency program.
The primary difference lies in the philosophy of their medical training:
Holistic Approach
The core principle of osteopathic medicine is a "whole-person" approach to patient care. D.O.s are trained to look beyond specific symptoms to understand how a patient's lifestyle, environment, and physical well-being are interconnected and affect their overall health.
What is Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM)?
OMM stands for Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. It’s a comprehensive system of medical care used by D.O.s (Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine) that incorporates a hands-on diagnostic and treatment method known as Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT).
The body is a unit
All body systems—muscles, bones, nerves, and organs—are interconnected. A problem in one area can affect the function of another.
Structure and function are interrelated
The structure of the body (e.g., bones and muscles) directly affects its function.
The body has a self-healing capacity
OMM aims to remove barriers to the body's natural ability to heal itself.
A D.O. uses their hands to diagnose and treat issues in a patient’s musculoskeletal system. This can involve a variety of techniques, including stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance, to relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote overall health.
