The Approach

Dr. Van Deven provides a unique practice of medicine that aligns with the heart and soul of the patient as a necessary component of diagnosis and treatment.

We are multidimensional beings in which the cause of illness extends well beyond the anatomical, toxic and infectious layers. Where the patient exists in their emotional and spiritual evolution informs their lives, their challenges, and their state of health. Thereby, the greatest outcomes in partnering with patients are when we work with the deep spiritual lessons of life, which are an invitation to step forward in the process of personal evolution. Thus, healing encompasses the wholeness of the individual in a way that ignites their potential in all areas of their lives.

Each patient’s healing path is unique with some common components to guide the way. After all necessary information is collected, the new patient appointment sets the foundation for the work ahead. This includes osteopathic evaluation and treatment, which provides valuable insight into the direction to take as well as starting a deep healing process. Diet and lifestyle components are discussed and lab testing is ordered, which may include a wide variety of conventional and specialty labs. If appropriate, medication and supplement recommendations are also provided at that time.

In the following visits, the treatment plan is constantly adapted in response to the patient’s experience and lab results, to reduce symptoms and maximize healing. Patients are encouraged to communicate with Dr. Van Deven as a partner throughout this process. Further osteopathic treatment accesses the patients’ innate health from within and empowers the healing process in a profound and loving way.
