Practice and Philosophy

Practice Description
My practice is unique in that it focuses on “the whole person." Each of us is a compilation of all of the events up to the point at which you arrive in my office. Consequently, as a physician working with you, together we will explore the options which can lead to your optimum health. Osteopathic manipulative medicine is the emphasis of my practice.

Philosophy
Osteopathic medicine trusts in the human body’s natural capacity to heal and regulate itself. Osteopathic physicians are trained in up-to-date medical knowledge, medications and the use of the latest technology. This training is augmented with a hands-on treatment tool known as osteopathic manipulative treatments, or OMT. OMT can provide a non-invasive tool to help maintain or facilitate health and, in some cases, can be used in place of medication or surgery. Applications for OMT include chronic pain, migraines, dizziness, nerve palsies, fatigue, sports injuries, motor vehicles accident injuries, digestive disorders, post-partum stress and others. The benefits of OMT --- pain relief, non-force, gentle and safe for all ages — are enormous, which is why I have chose this specialty of medicine.
