We are fully trained and licensed general practice physicians who have chosen to specialize in the manual medicine treatments that traditionally distinguish D.O.'s from our fellow M.D. physicians.   At the simplest level, these techniques are particularly useful in treating symptoms and syndromes for which there are limited treatment options, especially musculoskeletal problems.  More importantly, by truly incorporating the osteopathic principles (below), we build on a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, and development to restore vitality to tissues and facilitate the body to heal itself.

We also follow the traditional osteopathic medical paradigms, and heed them in our work to find holistic medical options for our patients.  These fundamental osteopathic principles are:

• The body is an integrated unit;  diagnosis and treatment must consider the whole person, including the unity of mind, body, and spirit. 
• The body has innate self-regulating and self-healing capabilities.  Our goal is to enable and facilitate this inherent ability. 
• Structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) are reciprocally interrelated.  Changes of one will inevitably affect the other;  therefore by treating the structure of the body, we can also improve the physiological functioning of the body at all levels.
