The Colorado Osteopathic Approach
Osteopathic physicians believe that we can improve the body’s ability to function and heal itself by correcting structural problems (or restrictions) in the body. We also believe in treating the whole
person, the fully integrated being of mind, body, and spirit. Your spiritual and emotional health are just as important as physical restrictions to the functioning of the whole body.
Dr. Holly Cauthron D.O.
Dr. Cauthron is board-certified in Family Medicine and OMT from the AOBFP (American
Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians) and board eligible in Neuromusculoskeletal
Medicine/OMM.
She first decided to pursue osteopathic training after learning about the unique osteopathic
philosophy on a high school field trip. As she had watched family members suffer from chronic
disease with little relief from standard western medicine, this philosophy resonated with her and
became the driving force during her undergraduate years of study.
She earned her undergraduate degree in Biology-Chemistry from Southern Nazarene University
in Bethany, Oklahoma. She then earned a Master’s degree in Bioethics at Kansas City
University of Medicine and Biosciences in Kansas City, Missouri. She attended medical school
at Oklahoma State College of Osteopathic Medicine in Tulsa, Oklahoma and focused on rural
medicine during her clinical years of study.
While completing a family medicine residency in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, she rediscovered her
passion for osteopathic manipulation and decided to pursue further training in it. She then
moved to Colorado to complete another year of residency training, focused solely on
osteopathic manipulation.
In 2020, she purchased Colorado Osteopathic & Integrative Medicine Associates.
What is Osteopathic Medicine?
Osteopathic Medicine is a unique medical practice developed and founded by Andrew Taylor Still, MD in 1874. Dr Still was a physician in the Civil war who became frustrated with the ineffective and dangerous “therapies” of the day. He was an avid anatomist, and this led him to the conclusion that the musculoskeletal system plays a vital role in health and disease.
Osteopathic physicians believe that we can improve the body’s ability to function and heal itself by correcting structural problems (or restrictions) in the body. We also believe in treating the whole person, the fully integrated being of mind, body, and spirit. Your spiritual and emotional health are just as important as physical restrictions to the functioning of the whole body. D.O.s use OMM/OMT to treat their patients. D.O.s (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) are fully licensed physicians, and can be found practicing medicine in all specialties in the United States. Their extensive training in anatomy and physiology, as well as years of supervised clinical training, makes them more experienced than any other practitioner providing manual therapy.
Osteopathic manipulation (OMM or OMT) is hands-on treatment that uses palpation and gentle manipulation of the musculoskeletal system to treat all levels of the body – bones, muscles, nerves, and connective tissue. Osteopathic manipulation also incorporates cranial osteopathy and visceral manipulation to help the entire body heal.
No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, healthcare providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 303.781.7862.
