Since Andrew Taylor Still, DO, MD, flung to the breeze the banner of osteopathy in 1874, dreaming of a different and better way to practice medicine, our profession has been interested in the future and not afraid to walk on the cutting edge. We are the innovators in medicine; the first to recognize that form is integral to function and the necessity to treat the whole person—mind, body and spirit—when we heal illness, not simply focusing on the symptoms. We dared to practice in a way that diverged from the prevailing theories of the time. To this day, we are not afraid to embrace new theories and methodologies.
