Integrative Sports Medicine
Integrative sports medicine (ISM) is an innovative specialty for the active lifestyle. It is the union of sub-specialty medicine with primary care. A sports-related injury may prompt the visit to the doctor, but future accidents and injuries can be prevented by this integrative approach. Treatment options are expanded, offering osteopathic manipulation, medical acupuncture, physical therapy, and herbal and dietary regimens among others. ISM individualizes every health assessment to maximize your health and activity potential. Prevention of travel and tropical illnesses is addressed for the world traveler.
