Aspects of Care

NORTH SHORE OSTEOPATHIC is NOT your typical medical office through design, but we offer what is expected and required for any Clinical Provider setting:

  • Diagnosis and Assessment: Consultations are instrumental in diagnosing medical conditions, assessing the severity of symptoms, and uncovering underlying issues. They lay the groundwork for the development of treatment plans that are tailored to an individual's specific needs. Ordering, assessing and discussing results of diagnostic testing and imaging are only part of this process.

  • Treatment Planning: Following revelation of abnormal results or pathological conditions, and especially if we can collectively do so across several disciplines, we seek to craft more holistic and complete treatment plans to optimize a patient’s outcomes. Plans are individualized - not protocolled. They may encompass medication, supplements, energetic and/or other lifestyle modifications, and/or referrals to other specialists.

  • Preventive Care: Consultations should extend beyond the management of existing health concerns. They also play a crucial role in preventive care. Again, our preference to work together as a trans- or interdisciplinary team can offer guidance on maintaining overall health and preventing future setbacks. Our patients can benefit from this timely approach to providing clinical insights into proactive measures for enhancing well-being .

  • Palliative Care: Timely re-consultation by our Specialists can also hasten initiation of appropriate changes in one’s care plan if or when the patient’s clinical condition deteriorates or worsens. If interested in Palliative Care symptom management or advocacy options - or you would like support during the care process, our team will strive to actively anticipate, prevent, and relieve suffering for all those involved throughout the trajectory of care. We hope to lessen patient, advocate or caregiver grief, fear, burnout or financial distress by offering an environment dedicated to family or individual support.
