PhD in Osteopathic Clinical Sciences

Physical Therapists: become specialized in disability & chronic pain management


A recent research at North Texas University (published in Journal of the American Osteopathic Association) demonstrated that 6 sessions of manual osteopathy (in 6 weeks) done on 500 patients reduced their disability and chronic low back by over 50%!


Manual osteopathy offers a proven, safe and effective treatment system for chronic musculoskeletal pain. Over 25% of osteopathic manual practitioners are physical therapists. 

 By offering manual osteopathic treatments you help your patients recover from chronic pain.

National University of Medical Sciences (USA), based in Naples, Florida offers a four years doctor of philosophy (PhD) program in osteopathic clinical sciences, online or on-campus. Please note this program will not make you an osteopath. We teach European style manual osteopathy, which includes only hands-on treatments, no surgery, no medications. Our graduates cannot call themselves osteopaths in the states as that is a regulated term reserved for osteopathic physicians. We graduate osteopathic manual practitioners.

Physical therapists can enrol in our accelerated PhD program to complete it in 1 year. The full tuition is $7,000 for the online program and $12,000 for the on-campus.


NUMSS (USA) offers seven programs including a postgraduate doctor of physical therapy, a master of science in athletic therapy, a doctor of botanical medicine, a master of business administration, a bachelor of science in osteopathic clinical sciences, a master of science in pedorthics and a bachelor of science in massage therapy.


Our sister schools, National University of Medical Sciences in Spain (www.numss.com) and National Academy of Osteopathy in Canada (www.nationalacademyofosteopathy) offer 33 degree and diploma programs, online or on-campus since 2010.
