My D.O. Changed My Life

 

Ann

“For years, my physician provided only surgical solutions for my very complicated and chronic heart condition, leaving me with ultimately no resolution. But it was an osteopathic physician (D.O.) who took the time to help me understand the havoc an imbalanced autonomic nervous system could have on my heart and how I could have a better quality of life by simply altering my lifestyle and nutritional habits."  Read Ann's full story.

Brian

“I was experiencing chronic pain and fatigue – falling asleep in class and retiring to bed very early. My heart was also racing from time to time. I knew this was not normal since I was physically fit after swimming roughly 8,000 yards a day with my swim team.  Read Brian's full story.

Cheri

“I was in a major car accident where I was hit head-on at a speed of 35-40 mph. I suffered chronic whiplash and unbearable pain from muscle spasms. I tried therapy but didn’t get the expected results and was left feeling as though there wasn’t anything else that could be done. Then someone recommended I see an osteopathic physician (D.O.).  Read Cheri's full story.
