Ep.101 Art, Acupuncture and OMT… a somatic psychiatrist who lets his hands guide treatment – Alex King, DO

He is an artist, neuroscientist with synesthesia who has a unique view and experience of the world. He brings this experience to his medical practice. Rooted in his knowledge of human anatomy, osteopathic techniques and understanding the human condition allows his perception of the person to guide him to where and how he should treat. For him osteopathy is this dance of two biological systems fighting chaos. While treating he does his best to get out of the way, meeting the person where they are, listening to what the patient says, paying attention to nonverbal cues and being empathetic. He is an expert in acupuncture, using it as a means to help patients who manifest psychosomatic problems. He believes in the importance of breathing, sharpening your mind, healing your body and bolstering your spirit as a way to help your treatments be more effective. He is a researcher pushing the specialty of OMM forward. Enjoy this dynamic and informative conversation with Dr. King, DO an osteopathic healer.
