Function As A Whole
To help establish a point of Rest or Neutral around which the Whole can come to balance.
As osteopaths, we use our hands to help people function as a whole. One of the ways we do this, according to Dr. Jealous, is by helping establish a point of rest or neutrality around which the entire body can return to balance. This principle has been a central focus of Dr. Etemad’s practice for many years.
In osteopathy, as in any profession, choosing good mentors and colleagues is essential. Dr. Etemad is fortunate to share his office with Susan Boudakian, D.O., a U.S.-trained osteopathic physician whose residency training is in Pediatrics and whose practice is devoted to the care of children.
Whatever the disease process and whatever the injured part, the goal remains the same: helping that part return to relationship with the whole person. Through a detailed history and careful evaluation, important clues often emerge that reveal previously unseen pathways toward healing and improved function.
