Brian Peternell, D.O.
Dr Brian Peternell, Doctor of Osteopathy
Dr Brian Peternell believes in the body's innate ability to heal and his objective is to find and support the health of his patients. Impediments to the expression of Health come in many forms, nearly always with an anatomic component (nervous, vascular, fascial, muscular, skeletal, etc), that, when functionally restored, contribute to physiologic correction. This is the mechanical basis of osteopathic manipulation, a core component of traditional osteopathy.
The expression of Health is not merely mechanical in nature. Mind and spirit must also be attuned. Cranial osteopathy provides a window into the expression and harmony of these within and through the body.
Dr Peternell is a licensed physician and, as such, has the privilege to make use of all available diagnostic and therapeutic modalities as may be necessary to understand and support the expression of health in his patients.
Dr Peternell is a father and husband and loves play-time with his son Jack and wife Bronwen. This usually involves water, waves, sand, dirt, or snow and when possible happens with extended family and friends, occasionally outside the country. It's good to be together!
