Specialties
HealthStyles is the medical practice of Dr. Elizabeth McCleskey, an Osteopathic physician who has been board certified in Family Medicine for over two decades. Her special interests, Osteopathic Manual Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine, dovetail with the holistic philosophy of her medical school training. Lifestyle Medicine provides personally tailored care using evidence-based medicine to help you reach your highest health potential. We begin with a 50-minute appointment to allow us to get to know your personal needs. Then, we help you formulate your primary goal(s), whether it is losing weight without strenuous exercise, reducing pain and increasing flexibility, maximizing physical endurance, decreasing need for medications, mitigating risks of future disease and disability, or something else altogether. During subsequent 30-minute sessions and varied learning activities applicable to your goals, we will design your treatment plan and implement the intervention strategies. Osteopathic Manual Medicine (OMM) or Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a specialty in which osteopathic physicians use their hands to diagnose injuries and apply corrective pressure to facilitate the body's healing ability by relieving joint restrictions, releasing trigger points, and realigning areas. Similarities between chiropractic care and OMT/OMM do exist, but the latter utilizes a wide range of techniques suited to the treatment of problem areas throughout the body.
