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.
