I use my hands to perform manual, hands-on medicine to address underlying causes of disease.

 

Osteopathic physicians, like MDs, complete the same rigorous medical training, pass multiple board exams and go through multi-year residency programs before being fully licensed to practice. Unlike MDs, we study manual, hands-on medicine. A select number of DOs like myself continue to study and advance those skills beyond school and residency, specializing full time in osteopathic manual medicine.

 

As physical limitations improve, patients often undergo positive shifts in their emotional and spiritual health. Osteopathy assesses and treats the physical body but also considers the emotional and spiritual state of the patient as equally important parts in the healing journey.

 

The goal of any medical treatment is to offer your body resources, whether that be manipulation with my hands, a prescription drug, or surgery. The resources I offer work with, and bolster, the natural forces within your own body to find health. Unlike drugs and surgeries, I take pride in treating causes versus simply masking and managing your symptoms. Many patients experience change after the first appointment while others, especially those with chronic long term issues, may require multiple visits. 

 

If you are looking for a physician to partner with who will look at the whole picture and use your body's own resources to help you heal, I invite you to schedule an appointment.
