Chiropractic Acupuncturist at O'Keefe Matz Chiropractic & Functional Health Clinic - Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
We all know the story -- somebody steps on a sharp rock, hurts his foot, and then walks unevenly for a short time - throwing out his back, or his hip. The story we don't hear so often is how the same kind of antagonizing reactions occur in our bodies when something less easily understood gets thrown off and causes a cascade of heath-related events.You may not find the proverbial "sharp rock" that started it all, but if you want to promote genuine wellness, you need a medical expert who takes the time to consider the whole picture and what your body needs. "Medicine" today has largely become just that - medication. Functional medicine, however, prescribes to the notion that the entire body is a dynamic, individualized system, and that some coordinated detective work is likely needed to understand and heal whatever has gotten off track, not just mask it until it becomes something else, or something worse.At O'Keefe Matz Chiropractic & Functional Health Clinic, our 1st concern is that our patients feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. From the moment you walk into the office you will be greeted with a welcoming smile and you will find that our clinic is quiet, peaceful, and relaxing.Many of our patients that come to us have been through devastating circumstances. They have "tried everything", they have "seen everyone", they have been "through the mill and around the block and back".When they finally reach our office it becomes their "healthcare home" for good.We identify the factors that are at the root and underlying cause of your current condition and work with you not only to heal what is making you sick, but also to find ways that contribute to your progressively greater health. Examples of treatments for conditions - from auto accidents and injuries, migraine, autoimmune disease, nutritional needs, support of cancer treatment, toxic exposure, kidney disease - to depression, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety disorders - even simple aging.
