My D.O. Changed My Life New content

Deborah

"My husband and I had arthritis, high cholesterol and blood pressure fluctuations. Sick of consistently getting prescribed more and more medications to remedy the problems, we visited an osteopathic physician (D.O.). He asked many questions; took a fresh look at our overall health; and identified unknown food allergies" Read Deborah's full story.

 

Sandra

"I am a retired R.N. and have worked hand-in-hand with doctors for 32 years (surgery) and, as the saying goes, nurses are the worst patients. It’s no secret I get a little frustrated in the waiting room at the doctors office. It’s not long after my DO enters the exam room that my blood pressure goes down and I start to act like a human being again. I should mention that I cannot walk. I am wheel-chair bound." Read Sandra's full story.

 

Dennis

"Living with acute shoulder pain for years, I had experimented with numerous treatments options to no avail. I tried acupuncture, massage therapy and physical therapy. Some of the treatments actually made the pain worse. I was about to give up on finding a solution until I tried visiting an osteopathic physician (D.O.). Even after my first treatment, I felt relief in my shoulder." Read Dennis's full story.
