Dr. Herzog takes it personally in that his family has been performing osteopathic manipulative for three generations.
In over the past 100 years there has been an osteopathic physician in his direct image which inspires and guides his hand to perform precision, well-focused osteopathic manipulation. Combining his skill in osteopathic manipulation with diagnostic ultrasound and the ability to perform specific blocks prior to manipulation makes his practice truly unique in this part of the world.
As a true believer in the tenets of Osteopathy those being diet, exercise and clean air are the mainstays of health, Dr. Herzog does not often vary from these principles. When it comes to the use of drugs, most drugs are considered inappropriate to an Osteopathic who can use his hands to diagnose and affect a cure.
The saying that the original founder of osteopathic medicine, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, proclaimed still holds true for Dr. Herzog. Find it, fix it and forget it and do not cause the patient worry. Too often in the medical healthcare system we now have, doctors frighten people into treatment and don’t do the appropriate, common techniques to alleviate pain and in essence, find health. It is Dr. Herzog’s belief that the healthcare system is broken in the way it focuses on disease and not on health.
