Functional Medicine of Alaska offers patient-centered care to promote health as a positive vitality, beyond just the absence of disease. We believe that functional medicine is the future of medicine. The focus of functional medicine is that it seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease and take a "no band aid" approach to care. We view the body as a whole, and not a collection of systems and sub-medical specialties from pediatrics to geriatrics. Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease by shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach. Functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. At Functional Medicine of Alaska, we spend time with our patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, we are able to support the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.

We have about 200 patients from all over the world, many of whom were patients of Dr. Forest Tennant for the past 30 years. Patients find us mostly by referral, and we are grateful to be using Dr. Tennant's protocol. We operate the clinic twice per week and are in the office on Mondays and Fridays. That is because my staff also has arachnoiditis and EDS, so we mostly work from home.

Our practice is about 80% telemedicine and 20% in person. We try to maintain a high standard of documentation and use an electronic medical record.

About once per month, we do procedures which are mostly umbilical cord mesenchymal cell injections. We also draw a lot of blood, and do diet, exercise, and hormone replacement therapy. We want our patients to be strong.

Many EDS patients suffer from visual problems that require more specific care. I see a larger than average EDS population because they refer each other once they realize there are vision issues that are not always addressed by every eye care professional. the biggest problems I see are with convergence (using the two eyes together as a team) and tracking. People with convergence problems, read slower, lose their place while reading, can experience headaches with prolonged close work and work less efficiently with close work as on the computer or reading.

I'm a licensed physical therapist and board-certified specialist in orthopedics dedicated to maximizing the movement potential for people with hypermobility. My passion for treating patients with hypermobility started during my final clinical rotation of physical therapy school at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The high volume of patients with HSD/EDS during this rotation provided me with an opportunity to learn the impacts of hypermobility and nuances of how I can most effectively treat this population.

Within two years of graduating physical therapy school, I opened and managed a clinic for a nationwide physical therapy company in Chicago. By creating a safe place for patients with hypermobility, it quickly became one of the clinic's primary specialties allowing me to treat both pediatric and adult patients impacted by HSD/EDS. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2020, I've continued my involvement with the hypermobility community through the EDS ECHO Clinicians Program and building a network of multidisciplinary providers to facilitate more holistic care.

While I enjoy helping those with pain and injuries related to hypermobility as a physical therapist, I believe there is a lack of wellness services for this population. I'm dedicated to providing preventative interventions that decrease risk for injury and allow for a gradual initiation of a safe exercise routine to optimize the body's function. I pride myself on the ability to problem solve through complex cases, make progress measurable, celebrate small victories, and provide sustainable, long-term solutions instead of quick fixes.

Our practice specializes in chronic spine (back and neck), shoulder, hip and pelvic pain including sacroiliac joint pain, painful intercourse and incontinence of urine, faeces and gas. We treat adults and youth, athletes and people who are more sedentary. We see a great number of individuals with EDS and this group often has cumulative strain over years of compensating for strains in school, the workplace and even at home where appliances and furniture is not ideal for the body who happens to be using it. Our specialty is to help people use t heir bodies with less strain by improving the balance of muscles around each joint and the way we move through our lives. Our main goal is to help you learn to not need us!

We are a small private practice clinic with a focus on individualized one on one care. I have been working with individuals with generalized joint hypermobility/HSD/hEDS since 2003 and focused on this topic while achieving a post-professional doctorate (PP-DPT) completed in 2014. Over half of my caseload is individuals with hypermobile joints, abnormal connective tissue &/or chronic pain and fatigue. I have additional specialty training in peri-partum care and have supported women with GJH/HSD/hEDS through this phase. I experience GJH and meet 2017 criteria for hEDS, so I truly understand the pain and struggle that my patients live each day. My approach is focused on training body awareness and optimal movement strategies (Movement Impairment Syndromes Approach) and empowering individuals to take control of their daily lives. I have developed a style of manual therapy through trial and error that provides temporary symptom relief and augments the home exercise program and movement strategies. I also focus on training self care skills for pain management (TENS, hot/cold, massage, sleep hygiene, etc). I offer no miracles, but promise better management of our very unique bodies.

I treat patients with chronic pain and evaluate every major joint in the body. I am a manual therapy innovator and have developed evaluation and treatment methods. For example i use 16 basic passive joint mobility tests for patients with sacroiliac area pain and treat both hypermobility and hypomobility. I typically see patients (I prefer to refer to them as clients) for only 1-3 visits but typically spend 2-hours with them. my goal is to restore their norm of musculoskeletal function and make then independent of requiring passive care in the future. I refer to this approach as Interventional Orthopedic manual Physical Therapy. I advocate patient education and for every technique used to restore normal joint motion within a neurobiomechanical Biopsychosocial framework, I have developed a method of self-treatment to foster independence.

I am a solo practitioner doing Rolfing for the past 7 years. I have had a few clients with EDS who have benefitted from my work and recommended I join this site. I do deep tissue bodywork for chronic pain, with an emphasis on holding compassionate space for my clients to gain more awareness and understanding of their bodies. Often this can include assignments to be completed between sessions such as stretching, strengthening or awareness exercises. I have been teaching meditation for 15 years, so this can be a resource in sessions as well. I also practice Sourcepoint energy work, which is great for those with more severe EDS who need a lighter touch.

My practice has a major therapeutic component to it. I start by listening to a new client and observing the actions of their body to formulate a strategy to approach a massage session. I've worked in a variety of fields in the wellness industry for over 12 years and use that experience to formulate a plan. My clients with Ehlers Danlos have all responded well to the techniques I incorporate.

When a patient first comes to Elite our Certified FMT therapists carefully observe, assess and skillfully use their hands to identify inflammation, scar tissue and gauge strength and mobility.
Treatment is uniquely designed for each patient and involves manually treating soft tissues, muscles and joints, continually assessing progress and adapting treatment strategies to facilitate strength and healing.
Patients also learn how to prevent issues from recurring by showing them the right ways to move (and how to avoid stressors that may have caused the problem).
Based on specific patient needs, FMT also incorporates behavioral, nutrition and stress management components for maximal healing.
Functional Manual Therapy™ is a multi-dimensional approach to the body that evaluates mobility, motor control and how the brain affects our movements. We don't practice "traditional" physical therapy because FMT gives a better outcome for most patients. Instead of isolating the injured or impaired area, FMT therapists focus on how it aligns with the rest of the body, which often reveals a different root cause than originally assumed.
All treatments are one-on-one for sixty minutes.

I love working with adolescents, teens, and adults navigating major life transitions, including managing chronic illness and chronic pain. I myself have been diagnosed with hEDS and other chronic illnesses, and know the importance of working with a therapist who understands the complicated nature of EDS. It can feel so freeing to not have to constantly describe your diagnoses and symptoms to someone, but rather be heard, understood, and validated in your experiences. I am also happy to provide referrals to practitioners in the state who have experience with EDS patients to ease the panic and fear that can come with trying to build a care team.

My own experiences have proved the importance of recognizing the mind-body connection when working with chronic illness patients. I have been trained in the use of drama therapy. Drama therapy is the intentional use of drama and theatre to achieve therapeutic goals. This embodied practice can help chronic illness and chronic pain patients connect with their bodies and release trauma that is stored in the physical body. This can be helpful for those suffering from medical trauma and PTSD related to their illness.

I am a Fellowship-trained Hand and Upper Extremity Surgeon. I have dozens of patients with EDS and other connective tissue disorders linked to hypermobility. We have on-site hand therapy and physical therapy and coordinate care with our therapists to include bracing, splinting, activity modification and medical/injection therapy as needed. My bias is towards conservative care and working around some of the difficult issues faced by EDS patients by being creative with approaches to functional activities, but perform surgery when necessary, with an understanding that EDS patients need to be rehabbed and treated differently from the general population. I am often in the situation of making the initial diagnosis of EDS in many patients and referring them for a appropriate genetic screening.

The name ACTIFY developed out of our passion for wellness of both the body and the mind. The activation of our minds is essential to the success of our physical health. In rehabilitation of the body, neuroplasticity allows our brains to create new positive and powerful neural connections to override painful, ineffective and self-limiting habits and movement patterns. Neurons that fire together, wire together. So, if we focus on new efficient and effective functional movement patterns, we will build stronger, positive neural pathways. We can re-educate your nervous system through a hands on approach that creates uniquely chosen therapeutic activities for you. From restoring your posture to re-creating functional and pain-free movement patterns, when we activate the connection between body and mind, you get better quicker.

I practice a gentle form of non-manipulative chiropractic called Orthospinology/Upper Cervical. I work with many hypermobile and EDS patients. My work is safe for hypermobile spines and provides relief from neck pain, migraines, and other related issues. We utilize x-rays and non-manipulative approach similar to atlas-orthogonal. Our clinic specializes in neck pain, cervicogenic vertigo and migraines, and other related issues like facial/jaw pain. I have worked with many POTS patients as well. Many patient has experienced reduction in brain fog and drop attacks due to decreased tension and improved CSF flow at the CCJ (cranio-cervical junction). I provide EDS education and guidance for my patients, include EDS related questionnaires in the new patient intake forms, and encourage involvement in support group and the EDS online society. My goal it to help as many EDS patient as possible by providing safe, gentle spine care and compassionate patient centered healthcare. I am a member of the Georgia support group. I have established relationships with other EDS practitioners in the state, Carl Heldman DPT and Melissa Dickinson LPC. I had my own hEDS, dx in 2017.

Seven years into my practice after treating numerous young women with "idiopathic" gastroparesis and post-infectious dysmotility syndromes it finally dawned on me that these patients' GI disorders had many other common features: joint pain, migraines, frequent UTIs, POTS, and joint hypermobility. This epiphany in my practice has led me to recognize the phenotype in many patients who would have otherwise gone undiagnosed (and under-treated). Since that time I have read everything that I can find on the peculiarly-common hEDS and its many manifestations and now diagnose 2-3 patients a week in my own clinic. I now perform genetic testing in addition to guiding therapy, and I connect patients with knowledgeable immunologists, cardiologists, urologists, nutritionists and physical therapists. My main research interest is now in finding a treatment for the neurologic manifestations of hEDS, something to halt or perhaps reverse the progressive dysautonomia that can be so disabling. I am currently writing a grant for a project to objective measure the effects of a therapeutic agent in hEDS patients with POTS and GI dysmotility.

I have a lot of personal and professional experience using therapeutic exercise and manual therapy to improve chronic pain, fatigue, dizziness, joint stability, and quality of life. It often takes a village, so I enjoy helping my patients connect to other team members that can assist them in their journey.

I have 10 years of orthopedic experience and I have been working with a large population of patients with EDS over the past 4 years. In this time, I have learned the importance of taking an active approach to empower patients to manage their pain and better understand their condition. Manual therapy is utilized heavily in my clinic, but it is not the number one intervention with patients who have EDS or similar hypermobility issues. Exercise, education, and activity modifications are key, and manual therapy can be used as a pain modulator as needed.

Foundational Concepts is a physical therapy clinic specializing in pelvic health in the Kansas City metro. We have been seeing patients with hypermobility since we opened in 2013. Sarah Dominguez and Jennifer Cumming have both been practicing pelvic health PT since 2001. We often are the first providers to educate our patients about hypermobility and help them to find other health care providers to round out their team. Due to the many manifestations of EDS and hypermobility on pelvic health, we are able to play an integral part in our patient's health and well-being. We see patients in a one-on-one setting in private rooms for an hour each session. This allows us the time to build a rapport with our patients and give them the education that they need to take care of their bodies and to advocate for their health.

ob brings a unique perspective to discussions about physical therapy, exercise, health and wellness. During medical school at the University of Maryland, he began researching the myofascial system and its profound influence on movement and function. That led him outside the boundaries of traditional medicine. Today, his holistic approach incorporates a broad range of both conventional and alternative therapies.

He has treated people of all ages with orthopedic, neurologic and chronic pain/anxiety disorders. And worked with professional athletes, members of the United States Special Forces and Black Ops, and performing artists at the Kennedy Center and Hippodrome. Along the way, Rob has developed a reputation for thinking outside the box — which makes him a sought-after teacher, thinker and practitioner.

Above all, Rob believes in treating the whole patient — and that the heart of healing lies in an ability to listen, see and perceive more than the application of one particular technique or philosophy.

Ride horses and improve symptoms with occupational therapy!

I am an occupational therapist and a dog trainer who helped begin a non-profit animal-assisted therapy program using an 80 farm. I specialize in working with individuals affected by EDS, Autism, and balance and learning disabilities.

Siblings, Tim and Kelly (5 and 9) with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hypermobility type) ride in Taking The Lead, Inc.'s Occupational Therapy on Horseback program. Her son and daughter go through various balance and joint strengthening exercises on the horse while maintaining proper joint alignment under the support of an occupational therapist and a team of balance assisants. All of our patients acquire a home exercise program from the therapist so that gains continue and translate at home.

The main benefits of participating in Occupational Therapy on Horseback for adults and children include improved balance, coordination, endurance, and an awareness of maintaining joint alignment.

Shortly after starting to work with Dr. Dorff, Dr. Larson's adopted sister was diagnosed with EDS after lifelong chronic pain and health complications. Her sister had been one of the driving factors in going into chiropractic in the first place. From then on, she started learning more and more about EDS to be able to better care for her sister and others that Dr. Dorff referred to her. Over the last several years, a large portion of her practice has been dedicated to offering care to Zebras that they are unable to get with other chiropractors due to general lack of knowledge of EDS within the chiropractic and medical communities.

Foundational Concepts is a physical therapy clinic specializing in pelvic health in the Kansas City metro. We have been seeing patients with hypermobility since we opened in 2013. Sarah Dominguez and Jennifer Cumming have both been practicing pelvic health PT since 2001. We often are the first providers to educate our patients about hypermobility and help them to find other health care providers to round out their team. Due to the many manifestations of EDS and hypermobility on pelvic health, we are able to play an integral part in our patient's health and well-being. We see patients in a one-on-one setting in private rooms for an hour each session. This allows us the time to build a rapport with our patients and give them the education that they need to take care of their bodies and to advocate for their health.

Invisalign in Albuquerque NM

Invisalign treatment in Albuquerque NM is the clear way to straighten teeth without braces, using aligners. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing; and you can still eat and drink what you want. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth; and there are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.

From a Chiropractic stand point, I use gentle techniques that do not incorporate high velocity low amplitude adjusting, as this can cause damage to someone with EDS. This includes using a Leander flexion-distraction table that incorporates an up and down motion starting from the waist down. This allows me to go up and down the spine using the vertebrae as levers that allow a gentle stretch in the area of focus. In addition to the Leander table, I use an Activator, which is an instrument assisted adjusting technique. This device that allows me to deliver a small impulse to an area of focus, such as with the vertebrae in the spine or a tight muscle, with the goal of restoring motion to that area.
From a Functional Medicine perspective, I treat by looking for the root cause of conditions. This includes reviewing the amount of stress, followed by organs and organ systems they are having problems with. Upon working with the patient, I research what nutritional support they may need by reviewing lab work, reading peer reviewed articles, and delving into basic anatomy and physiology. The treatment includes a personalized diet plan with supplements that are specific to each patient.

As as person living with EDS (and some of its co-morbidities), I have experienced the uncertainty, stress, grief and constant struggle for balance inherent in living with chronic health challenges. As I shared my symptoms and concerns with my care team, they'd share bits of other patients' stories with me and it quickly became apparent that we, the folks impacted by these chronic illnesses, share more than our diagnoses; We need to share the stories we have lived. We need to know those stories don't end with our diagnosis. We need to feel empowered to write our next chapter.
In order to make this a reality, I began my private practice in 2015 in order to meet the unique needs of clients and families who seek to live well with EDS and co-morbid syndromes. Using teletherapy, I employ an eclectic approach which borrows from narrative therapy, a strength-based approach, elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), some Polyvagal Theory, psycho-education, solution-focused interventions and a good bit of playfulness, in order to support folks in meeting the needs their bodies require, so they may live the lives they desire.

I have a private practice, Comprehensive Allergy & Asthma Care, which focuses on a more holistic diagnostic and therapeutic approach to inflammation, due to hypersensitivity, such as Mast Cell Activation disorders, as well as Primary Immune Deficiency. Dysregulation of the immune system can cause problems in any organ system. Yet it is signs and symptoms of the skin, gut and respiratory tract that typically cause patients to seek an allergy/immunology consultation: sinus problems, recurrent respiratory infections, skin disorders (urticaria/hives; swelling/angioedema; flushing/redness of the skin; and eczema), breathing difficulties (asthma, ie), food sensitivities/chronic gastro-intestinal distress. The team includes myself, a nurse practitioner with expertise in the neurology arena, and a physician assistant with over a decade of dermatology experience. We also recognize the need to partner with other specialties, to help gather clues and design a therapeutic plan. The latter may include the use of nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine, biologics (including the original biologic-supplemental gammaglobulin.

Currently, the Director of Clinical Muscle Pain Research at Weill-Cornell Medicine, his practice deals with all aspects of chronic pain. He has invented an electric instrument that can identify specific muscles causing pain and stiffness so common in EDS patients. During the initial evaluation, each patient is tested for all possible sensitized muscles to facilitate a detailed treatment plan. Comprehensive treatment may include use of photobiomodulation, muscle tendon injections, physical therapy, treatment of symptoms of Mast Cell Activation Disorder, and use of a variety of analgesic medications.

I am part of a multispecialty clinic in rural North Carolina. I am familiar with EDS and HSD for a number of reasons, both personal and academic, and as such began noticing an influx of patients after noting this disorder in a referral sent to me. I now have a population of these patients that have sought me out for care in the setting of what seems to be very little knowledge of this disorder in this region. I have established a network of physicians familiar with this however this is ever changing and expanding as my patient population with this spectrum of disorders grows.

Second is to investigate, treat, and work with other practitioners for other conditions that are often seen more commonly with EDS, including POTS, MCAS, occult tethered cord, Chiari, and cranio-cervical instability. Third is to work deeply with patients to identify underlying factors that may be contributing or exacerbating their EDS symptoms as well as their overall health as an individual, including hormone imbalances, dietary and nutrient deficiencies, toxic exposures and detoxification needs, possible chronic infections, stress, and energetic patterns. Treatment focuses on both the medicine of chemistry as well physics and can include lifestyle changes, nutrients, herbs, and medications as well as energetic treatments of acupuncture or aroma acu-therapy, biotherapeutic draingage, and homeopathy. Dr. Hindman also draws from her personal experience with hEDS to support the symptoms and issues associated with EDS as well as the whole person who is experiencing those symptoms.

Healing Motion was founded by J. Christopher Potts, PT, DPT in response to a need for comprehensive physical therapy and wellness services all under one roof. He feels strongly that the traditional way physical therapy is provided does not place the patient and their healing process as the first and most important priority. Healing Motion was founded to create a treatment environment that fosters a collaborative relationship between patient and therapist, and allows the therapist the freedom to craft the best possible plan of care for each patient. This requires hour-long, one-on-one therapy sessions with each patient.

When a patient finishes physical therapy at Healing Motion, they leave with a wealth of management techniques and a complete education in their own care. In addition to continuing with a home program, some individuals find it beneficial to have periodic Myofascial Release and massage sessions to maintain the progress they have achieved in therapy. Other patients who have become hooked on Pilates and Gyrotonic continue their study, maintenance, and care at Healing Motion with one of our certified instructors privately or in a group lesson.

I have a special interest in managing chronic complex pain conditions. In patients with EDS this means not just understanding the cause of the pain but also figuring out what else is preventing them from functioning or contributing to their difficulty with functioning. It may mean managing fatigue, anxiety and brain fog. Finding solutions with associated conditions such as POTS / Dysauotonomia, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), mitochondrial dysfunction, chiari malformation, cranio cervical instability, tethered cord syndrome, gastrointestinal issues. My job is to put all these together and connect the dots, start treatments and make recommendations.

The Kelly Clinic, run by husband-wife team of Drs. Sarah and John Kelly, is an internal medicine practice that specializes in the primary care of adults and adolescents. Dr. Sarah Kelly, residency trained in both internal medicine (Mayo Clinic Arizona) and pathology (University of New Mexico), is affected by hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and has a special area of interest and focus on the diagnosis and longterm management of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, connective tissue disorders and "invisible disability" which is the focus of her practice within the clinic. As patients ourselves, we believe strongly in the healing power of the patient-doctor relationship and getting to the root of medical problems. This is the cornerstone of our practice. Our patients are entitled to thorough, affordable, easily accessible, personalized medical care. We recognize that all patients are unique and special and one-size fits-all approaches do not generally work for all patients. Therefore, rather than employing a more traditional, disease-centered approach to healing, we focus on the individual as a whole, not as a set of symptoms or diseases.

We specialize in the analysis and specific correction of the upper cervical spine using a sound wave. This helps balance the communication between the brain and body which in turn allows the body to heal and hold the correction for longer and longer periods of time. Muscle balance is incredibly important in the stabilization of joints and can result in alleviation of symptoms related to instability. The adjustment isn't forceful and does not stress the ligaments. Instead of needing an adjustment every few days you can go several weeks and sometimes months between adjustments. The doctor suffers from EDS as well as has treated and does currently treat many patients with varying degrees of EDS related symptoms. They are the ones who encouraged us to register with the EDS society so that more EDS patients can find us and benefit from our care.

While I was trained in a tertiary hospital setting from 2006 to 2010, I was able to care for diverse conditions from stroke, emergency care, musculoskeletal conditions, and internal illness as well.
My approach is based on anatomy, kinesiology, and neurophysiology which empowered me to provide quality care for each patient. I'm so glad that I can do my best for EDS patients suffering from diverse symptoms. I'm highly interested in reducing hypermobility by enhancing ligaments and strengthening musculature. My interest for body led me to become a certified personal trainer. I hope I can set a personalized strategy to jump over the huddle of EDS.

As a physician board-certified in internal medicine and rheumatology with additional expertise in acupuncture and herbal medicine, Dr. Yousef Zarbalian is uniquely qualified to provide comprehensive medical care for a wide variety of medical conditions. There are many medical conditions for which modern rheumatology has limited treatment options. The ability to look through a different lens (traditional medicine which includes acupuncture, nutritional modification, and herbal medicine) at each person's unique condition opens up options which would not even be considered in a standard western medical clinic. We can provide the best of both approaches (western pharmacology as well as holistic modalities) to our patients.
With regards to hypermobility syndrome and EDS, Dr. Zarbalian brings a wealth of experience as an internist and rheumatologist with diagnosing and managing these conditions.
Except for medicare, we are a Direct Pay practice. This allows us to provide high-quality, time-intensive care to our patients.

Genetic counselors provide diagnostic testing, information, and support to families who may be at risk for a variety of inherited conditions and those who have a personal or family history of birth defects or genetic disorders. They identify families at risk, investigate the medical problems present in the family, interpret information about the disorder, analyze inheritance patterns and risks of recurrence, and review available genetic testing options with the family.

Genetic counseling is relevant to every medical specialty, however it plays an especially critical role in: connective tissue disorders, obstetrics, pediatrics, oncology, research, and testing.

I believe that in order to make progress, it is necessary to recognize the starting point. Then learn new patterns to build a solid foundation in movement, nutrition, and overall health habits. I have found that a personalized approach works best for my clients, building a program that recognizes each individual's needs and preferences.

I work mostly remotely over zoom, teaching movement and improved health habits during sessions that last 30-60 minutes 1-3 days/week as is helpful for each client. Each program is flexible to fit with the specific needs of each person.

I am very familiar with EDS since my significant other has vascular type EDS. She is a spoonie and a tubie.

The practice is in Oconomowoc, WI. For those who prefer it or those who are less able to make it to one-on-one sessions, I am able to work through telehealth. Among other things, I am working to build EDS/chronic illness groups where people can gather for support. Caregivers or loved ones of those who suffer from chronic illnesses should not hesitate to reach out.

Structure determines function, and vice versa. Thereby, both need to be addressed to create the greatest potential for health and healing.

My practice is a synergistic blend of Osteopathy & Functional Medicine – both aim to identify the cause of disease. Osteopathy applies our understanding of anatomy and physiology into a gentle hands-on treatment. For EDS patients, it is especially helpful in resolving physical strain and pain throughout the body, but is also known to relax the nervous system, improve digestion, lung function, immune function, and much more.

Functional Medicine addresses our unique biology, hormones, digestion, immune function, nutrition, genetics, and lifestyle. All of which help to maximize the benefit from the osteopathic manipulation and provide a full, enjoyable life.
