Her practice philosophy is that the body is one functional unit and that understanding the impact of the malfunctioning neuromusculoskeletal systems on the overall health of the body is essential for proper treatment. This integrative approach to treatment focuses not only on addressing existing symptoms, but also on assisting the body through the use of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM), to facilitate the body’s natural abilities of self-regulation. In all cases, the ultimate goal is long-term relief of pain and restoration of optimal physical performance.
