Osteopathic & Cranial Treatment, Holistic Medicine and Nutrition for Adults, Children and Newborns

Specializing in Musculoskeletal Pain Relief, Trauma Recovery, and Children's Health

As a licensed Osteopathic physician, Dr. Johnston provides gentle and precise hands on treatment to activate the body's natural healing process. This natural approach, which focuses on the whole person, can relieve the root cause of distress, not just mask symptoms temporarily.

Dr. Johnston combines gentle manual treatments with conventional diagnostic testing when necessary, and also consults with each patient on their complete health history, diet, lifestyle and stress levels. Osteopaths seek to understand the whole picture when treating a patient, no matter what their health concern.

During treatment sessions, Dr. Johnston addresses each patient from head to toe to relieve any areas not functioning at their optimal level. Osteopathic treatments involve gentle manipulation of the bones, muscles, connective tissue, and the movement of fluids to return the body to a state of balance and optimal function. By addressing all of these systems, the speed of healing increases, pain levels decrease, and disease recovery and prevention is enhanced.

Dr. Johnston works with many types of health conditions, including injury and surgery recovery, trauma, TMJ, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic neck and back pain, fibromyalgia, anxiety/depression, infections, migraine and tension headaches, and learning disorders and developmental delays in children.
