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 working with patients are when we authentically work with the lessons that life has brought to the moment as a step forward in  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 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, supplement and medication recommendations are also provided at that time.

In the following visits the treatment plan is constantly adapted in response to lab results, to reduce symptoms and maximize healing. Patients are invited 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.
