About Us
Report
Peter Bower is an allopathic physician who has sought out and obtained additional training in Osteopathic evaluation and therapy techniques. He knows how to use medications and "standard" allopathic therapies, but prefer to use the osteopathic approach. Peter has found the osteopathic approach and techniques to be a successful way to evaluate and treat musculoskeletal and neurologic systems of the body.
What We Do
Report
There are two kinds of physicians that practice medicine in traditional medical clinics and hospitals in the United States: allopathic physicians, and osteopathic physicians. You will find both working side by side in medical settings everywhere. Osteopathic medicine is a distinctive form of medical care founded on the philosophy that all body systems are interrelated and dependent upon one another for good health.
Prolotherapy
Report
Prolotherapy uses a dextrose (sugar water) solution, which is injected into the ligament or tendon where it attaches to the bone. This causes a localized inflammation in these weak areas which then increases the blood supply and flow of nutrients and stimulates the tissue to repair itself. This does nearly the opposite of a what a steroid injection does (blocks the immune system by decreasing blood flow).
Pens
Report
Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a pain reduction technique that involves the insertion of acupuncture needles into the soft tissue. The needles are inserted to a depth of 1-2 cm at the nerve or trigger points serving the area of pain. Wire leads are attached and a small electrical current is passed through the inserted needles.
Pilates-based Rehab
Report
We use a Stott Pilates approach. It is a contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by Joseph Pilates. It incorporates modern exercise principles, and applies proven and accepted practices in biomechanics, rehabilitation and athletic performance enhancement. Stott exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints.
