Osteopathic Medicine

Cranial osteopathy is delivered by a board registered physician, called an osteopath. This is a technique used with muscle reprogramming to help the muscles, fascia, and cranial bone throughout the body unwind.

The Fundamental Osteopathic Principles are:

• The body is an integrated unit; diagnosis and treatment must consider the whole person, including the unity of mind, body, and spirit.
• The body has innate self-regulating and self-healing capabilities. Our goal is to enable and facilitate this inherent ability.
• Structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) are reciprocally interrelated. Changes of one will inevitably affect the other; therefore, by treating the structure of the body, we can also improve the physiological functioning of the body at all levels.

Our approach to medicine is driven by the idea that the body has inherent wisdom and its own healing potential. We believe it is not our job as physicians to “fix” what is wrong with the body, but rather to detect the health that is already present and then foster it so the patient can achieve optimal wellness.

Here are a few ways Function First takes an osteopathic approach to our patient’s treatments: 

• Promoting healthy oral and facial development from infancy 
• Craniosacral Therapy & Osteopathy 
• Nutritional counseling 
• Allergy treatment 
• Detox 
• Laser therapy
