There is no place we’d rather be helping people than in their homes. That’s partly because the philosophy of whole-person, Osteopathic Medicine began right here in Kirksville in 1874 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still.

And just like Dr. Still, we also believe the best way to treat disease and injury is to promote wellness in the whole body. Dr. Still traveled around to people’s homes, too, just like we do today. Except for his horse and buggy, we have to say we think our personal approach remains largely unchanged, inspired by the best.
