Effectively Treating the Root Cause(s) of Your Disease or Pain 

For the body to function properly, it’s structure must be in the best alignment possible. For example, if the ribs are not moving properly, the lungs cannot fully inhale and the lymphatic system cannot mechanically rid the body of illness. If the lungs cannot mechanically expand the downstream effect is that the blood flow from the lower half of the body will not effectively return to the heart and the body stays stuck in a cycle of stagnant disease. For you, this may manifest as chronic shoulder pain – a symptom which is remote of the actual root cause. If you are seen as a ‘shoulder’ you will be evaluated just as a shoulder. 

I pride myself on digging deeper. My treatment approach is to focus on restoring movement and stability to the system. This may be by optimizing the fluid balance within the body or stabilizing the tendons and ligaments that support the structure and framework of the system, thus improving strength and range of motion which are required for optimal function and less pain. Our shared goal is to get you back to the quality of life that you deserve. Together, we will work to combine my experience as a primary care doctor (for nearly two decades) with proven osteopathic treatment to utilize an integrative and comprehensive wellness approach for individual needs and goals. This includes a thorough intake visit to establish a functional timeline on how your health issue may have started and develop your treatment plan.
