My DO Changed My Life

David's Story:

"My wife and I have been treated by our osteopathic physician (DO) for over 24 years. His knowledge is second to none and I have never seen him stumped by any medical condition with which he has been confronted. In 1986, I sustained a back injury at work which worsened to the point where I had difficulty walking and could not work. At the suggestion of a co-worker, I made an appointment with my DO after three weeks of medicating with muscle relaxers and pain medication to no avail. In one treatment with my DO, all my back and leg pain dissipated, and I was able to immediately return to work." Read David's full story.

Dennis's Story:

"My osteopathic physician was my surgeon for my gastric bypass, but the job he did was much more than that. He was encouraging, supportive, and a wealth of information to not only me but my family. He spent a lot of time with me before and since the surgery. In the hospital, my DO visited me at least twice a day. He always showed concern for my well-being, physically and mentally."

Elida's Story:

"After experiencing chronic pain throughout my body (fibromyalgia) and taking numerous medications to control the pain, I sought treatment from an osteopathic physician (DO. It only took two osteopathic manipulative treatments (OMT) to feel relief before the pain began to subside. I have continued the treatments and can happily say I’m free from discomfort. An additional benefit of my treatments is the fact that I’ve actually stopped taking the majority of my medications!" Read Elida's full story.
