We are very fortunate in that all of our physicians perform osteopathic manipulation. Dr. Kessler and Dr. Kale both have additional training in OMT and are both certified in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine and Neuromuscular Medicine (OMM/NMM).

While Dr. Worden will not be designated as PCP, she would be happy to provide functional medicine care for patients with acute illness, chronic illness or those looking for disease prevention, health and wellness using an integrative and functional medicine approach.
Functional Medicine
One of the primary features of Functional Medicine is that it is individualized care as we are all as different; genetically and biochemically unique. This personalized health care treats the individual, not the disease. It supports the normal healing mechanisms of the body, naturally, rather than attacking disease directly.
​
What makes Functional Medicine different from other holistic care is that it looks for root cause to disease with a goal of treating the root cause and not just treating symptoms.
Osteopathic Manipulation
All of the Osteopathic physicians in our clinic utilize several modalities including craniosacral osteopathy, fascial distortion model, myofascial release, counterstrain, muscle energy, lymphatic drainage and more.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent/iCARE
Frequency-specific microcurrent (FSM) is a technique for treating pain by using low-level electrical current. The current is delivered to certain parts of the body in an attempt to relieve the pain.
​
The iCARE pad is a new device that makes FSM much more convenient and affordable converting the FSM to PEMF.

Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathic Medicine
Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs, are fully licensed physicians who practice in all areas of medicine. Emphasizing a whole-person approach to treatment and care, DOs are trained to listen and partner with their patients to help them get healthy and stay well.
​
DOs receive special training in the musculoskeletal system, your body's interconnected system of nerves, fascia, muscles and bones. By combining this knowledge with the latest advances in medical technology, they offer patients the most comprehensive care available in medicine today.
​
Osteopathic physicians focus on prevention, tuning into how a patient's lifestyle and environment can impact their wellbeing. DOs strive to help you be truly healthy in mind, body and spirit -- not just free of symptoms.
