Treatment Philosophy

"The body has a natural tendency toward health and has the capacity to resist disease and to heal itself” – Tenet of Osteopathy
 
At New York Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy, we are dedicated to improving the health and function of our patients, treating the whole patient, not just the patient’s symptoms. We do this by combining two distinct practices of medicine, physiatry (physical medicine and rehabilitation) and osteopathic medicine. 

Physical medicine and rehabilitation is a medical specialty focusing on the recovery from musculoskeletal injuries. Osteopathic medicine is defined by the American Osteopathic Association as “a complete system of medical care with a philosophy that combines the needs of the patient, the current practice of medicine, and an emphasis on the interrelationship of structure and function.” Osteopaths appreciate the body’s ability to heal itself.” Our holistic approach encompasses both of these principles and focuses on non-surgical treatments to relieve pain, promote healing and prevent future injury coupled with patient education, fitness, wellness and ergonomics training.

Dr. Neely listens to each of his patients and helps them understand their condition. He provides customized treatment plans as well as the tools and resources to better equip patients in the self-management of their condition. Dr. Neely and our expert team of therapists utilize a variety of treatment methods, including the latest advances in technology, to reduce or eliminate the problem and to decrease the possibility of recurrence. This comprehensive approach produces cost-effective results and the highest level of patient satisfaction. We constantly strive to exceed our patients’ expectations of medicine and physical therapy.
