Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Morrissey Movement, the purpose of this podcast to discuss and share one aspect of fitness and one aspect of medicine. Being a general surgeon and a garage gym athlete, I have a strong passion for both of these aspects of life. So sit back and enjoy the show. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only. I am in no way forming a patient doctor relationship. All the aspects discussed in this podcast are medically accurate. You should always discuss with your doctor any questions that you may have about the content, you should always discuss with your doctor before starting any new exercise or dietary changes. Hey, what's going on everybody? This is Dr. Chris Morrissey here with another episode of The Morrissey movement. For those of you that listen, thank you so much feel free to leave any type of feedback that you feel is necessary. So this is episode two. So today I decided to discuss a few different topics. The medical topic for the day is actually going to be the differences in physicians meaning MD versus DO me being an osteopathic physician or a do I've been asked that throughout my career as far as what are the main differences? So I thought I'd spend some time kind of discussing this and maybe giving some light on the subject for people that don't know. And then the fitness aspect I'm going to talk about is what's called Dom's or delayed onset muscle soreness, because there's a lot of controversy of what this actually is. So I felt I would talk about these two things today. All right, so let's get started. So as far as talking about MD versus DO so an MD or a doctor of medicine or an allopathic physician versus a DO which is a doctor of osteopathy or osteopathic physician. So as far as an allopathic physician goes the, the word allopathic comes from the Greek aulos, meaning opposite and Pathos, meaning to suffer. So the phrase of allopathic was coined by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann, which I may have not said that correctly back in the 1800s is roughly refers to treating a symptom with its opposite. So an example would be if you're constipated, you would give someone the laxative, so you're kind of doing the opposite of what it would be. So if you have hypertension or high blood pressure, you're going to give a medicine that will make your blood pressure go down or an anti hypertensive. So that is the kind of the rough definition of allopathic osteopathic actually is a branch of medical practice that emphasizes the treatment of medical disorders through the manipulation of massage of bones, joints and muscles. So, in general terms allopathic physicians are thought to have focused on treatment of disease whereas osteopathy traditionally refers to treating the patient and not the disease. So where did osteopathic medicine come from? There was a Dr. Andrew Taylor still, who actually was an MD. Back in the late 1800s. He was the very first osteopathic physician in the United States. He had lost a few of his children to disease, one with pneumonia and one from like cholera, dysentery or something like that. And he just felt that modern medicine was failing. So we actually took about eight to 10 years sabbatical from medicine and studied the human body more intensively on an Indian reservation. So throughout his studies, he discovered that the spinal cord was more intimately related to the organs than previously thought. So he came up with the idea of manipulating the spine in order to alleviate pain and some diseases. Thus, osteopathy was born. The first osteopathic medical school was actually opened in Kirksville, Missouri, which is actually a fairly small town. I think today, they may have a Walmart and a few other things and then a medical school. So he actually migrated there from Baldwin, Kansas, so you can actually stay that osteopathic medicine was created in Kansas. As far as schooling go, there are approximately 155 accredited MD...
