Description of Practice:
My practice involves the medical diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Although I have a special interest in sports medicine, you do not have to be an athlete to utilize the services at my clinic. My goal is to restore you to optimum function whether that be competitive sports or just walking the dog or working in the garden.
After making a precise diagnosis, my treatment methods emphasize activating the body's internal healing mechanisms. Osteopathic manual therapy (including craniosacral therapy) restores optimum joint function. Medical acupuncture (including Five-Element Acupuncture) re-regulates energy imbalances. Prolotherapy triggers healing of chronic ligament and tendon injuries. Neural therapy and Graston Technique treat soft tissue restrictions due to scar tissue. Platelet Rich Plasma therapy stimulates healing of tendons and joints.
A referral is not needed to make an appointment. I am a preferred provider with Blue Cross, Pacific Source, ODS and Providence health plans.
