How Do an MD and a DO Differ?
An MD and DO are both fully licensed physicians, trained in diagnosing and treating illnesses and disorders and providing preventive care. However, the foundation of osteopathic medicine is that individuals are more than their body parts. Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine focus on how all body systems are interconnected, and how each affects the others.
Providing Care for Children & Adults
Currently, Dr. Lake provides osteopathic manipulative medicine and regenerative medicine for adults and children with acute and chronic injuries and neurological conditions.
Recognizing that the body has an innate ability to heal itself, Dr. Lake works in partnership with his patients to achieve health. He considers the impact that lifestyle and community have on each person’s health, and seeks to break down barriers to optimal health.
