Dr. Heyser-Easterly has a blended practice taking care of patients in the office as well as acutely ill patients in the hospital setting. Her practice also focuses on providing nutritional guidance and programs to address obesity and cardiac risk factors such as high triglyceride and cholesterol levels by utilizing dietary / life-style modifications and exercise instead of medications whenever possible.
Herbal medication can be used as an alternative to pharmaceuticals or it can be combined with pharmaceutical therapy. Herbal supplements, such as Traumeel, help augment the effect and results of acupuncture and osteopathic manipulation. If you choose to use herbal medications you should be sure to use only high quality supplements from reputable manufacturers. Before starting any herbal medication, you should check with your primary care physician.
Osteopathic medicine is dedicated to treating and healing the entire patient as a whole. An Osteopath will often use a treatment method called manipulation - a hands-on approach to assure that the body is moving freely. This free motion ensures that all of your body's natural healing systems are free to work unhindered. The Osteopath's highly developed sense of touch allows the physician to palpate (feel) the patient's "living anatomy" (the flow of fluids, motion and texture of tissues, and structural make-up). The Osteopath's job is to "set" the body to heal itself.
Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO was the founder of Osteopathic medicine. Osteopathic medicine is dedicated to treating and healing the entire patient as a whole. An Osteopath will often use a treatment method called manipulation - a hands-on approach to assure that the body is moving freely as it was designed to do. Restoring this inherent motion is critical to proper functioning of human anatomy and physiology. It affects everything from fluid flow to immune functioning and is essential to the overall health of the body, mind, and spirit of each patient.
