Discover a Whole-Body Approach to Wellness
Focusing on the body as a whole functioning unit to improve the structure and function as well as overall health and wellbeing, Fix’s osteopathic practitioners are extensively trained in the human sciences. Understanding the interrelationships of all bodily systems, they aim to treat the root causes of pain, not simply the symptoms. They focus on assisting alignment, organic function, neurovascular health, and circulation of all bodily fluids in addition to improving how the skeleton, joints, nerves, muscles, circulation, connective tissue, and internal organs all work together.
