Nagging pain, recurrent injury or unknown ache? As an Osteopathic physician, my specialty is manual therapy to diagnose, treat, and alleviate injury and pain by assessing the body as a system. I use a multi-modal approach to manual therapy to promote blood flow, reduce restrictions and relieve misalignments in the body. Through manipulations, lab reviews, injections & technology, physical imbalances are addressed from a holistic and 360-degree approach. By aligning manual therapy and functional medicine, we are able to get to the root cause of what ales you. A layered and personalized approach to movement improvement and long-term wellness.

Conditions
Fibromyalgia
Given the myriad of symptoms Fibromyalgia can cause, partnering with an expert who can work with you on a multifaceted and individualized treatment approach, is vital. Alterations in treatment strategies, especially during a flare, are necessary given the numerous contributing factors to pain amplification.
We work together and review your lab results, current lifestyle and mindset to identify potential macro and micro-nutrient deficiencies, stealth infections, inflammatory markers, gut dysbiosis, as well as your potential toxic burden. After an extensive review, we put together a progressive, complimentary and comprehensive treatment plan that addresses your lifestyle, mindfulness and body-based program to work on the root cause while mitigating your potentially debilitating symptoms. Pain management is achieved through injections, Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), Peptide therapy and Osteopathic Manipulation.
Treatments:
1. OMT
2. Peptides
3. LDN (Low-dose naltrexone)
4. Supplement program
5. Diet & lifestyle modifications
Headaches
Headaches can be triggered by lifestyle choices, hormone imbalances, bulging discs, muscular pain and a variety of other issues. Headaches usually require a multi-modality approach where the inflammation source is reduced through lifestyle modifications, manipulations, stretching, injections, and at-home mobility work.
Treatments:
1. Osteopathic Manipulation
2. Lifestyle recommendations
3. Dry needling
4. Supplements
5. Myofascial therapy
6. Home mobility program
Back Pain
Back Pain can arise from spinal disc damage, incorrect posture, organ issues, overuse and more. Depending on whether the pain is chronic or acute treatment can be a combination of physical adjustments, dynamic stretching, homeopathic injections, lifestyle modifications, red light therapy, and technology.

Osteoarthritis
The treatment of joint pain begins with decreasing inflammation throughout the body. This is achieved through various diet and lifestyle modifications, peptides, Osteopathic manipulation, Dry needling, Traumeel or Prolotherapy injections, and Red light therapy.
Treatments:

Rotator Cuff Tear
When a rotator tear happens there is often a snapping sensation, acute pain and immediate weakness of the arm. Treatment can include OMT, peptide and Traumeel injections, exosome injections, dry needling to break up muscle spasm and reduce restriction. Infrared red light therapy can also help with pain as well.
Treatments:
1. Osteopathic Manipulation
2. Peptides
3. Traumeel injections E
4. Xosome injections
5. Dry needling
6. Red light therapy
Neuropathy
Nerve pain treatments should be complementary, layered and programmatic. Assessments may include lab work looking for vitamin deficiencies and autoimmune issues, an EMG to record nerve damage or an autonomic reflex test. To reduce chronic nerve pain, injections like peptides or neural prolotherapy are fantastic. For others, we can explore exosome injections.
Treatments:
1. Peptides
2. Neural Prolotherapy
3. Exosomes
Muscle Spasm
Muscle spasm can lead to acute or chronic pain, headaches, decreased range of motion, numbness and outright disability. Using a multi-modality approach to quell spasms and alleviate symptoms I use gua sha, dry needling, and cupping, Spascupreel injections or peptide injections, as well as Osteopathic Manipulation.
