ADULT CARE
Our goal as practitioners is to restore your health. We do this by utilizing the best of both worlds. We are in fact, specialists in reestablishing and maintaining your health. As fully licensed and trained physician, we have an in-depth working knowledge of the best imaging studies, laboratory analysis, and referral networks for other specialists.
Ultimately it is your health. It is our job to give you the understanding, resources, tools and path to get to your best health. That is why we look not just at your symptoms but at the entire situation that includes your mental, physical and emotional/spiritual health.
We look to find the areas in which your body is not working as it was designed and to give it what it needs to heal. We are an integrative medicine practice. This means we blend the best of “western” or “modern” medicine with knowledge of how the body works and complementary therapies to help you heal quickly and completely.

In today’s world we love “quick fixes”. Sometimes these are necessary. However, if you are constantly putting out the fires in your body, it is not functioning properly . Chronic malfunctioning of the various body systems may eventually lead to chronic and sometimes fatal illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke and dementia.
The good news is it never too late or too early to choose a better path. If you are a relatively healthy person you may have been told that your symptoms are not real, or that it is normal to feel that way as you get “old”. We believe that God created each human being with innate healing mechanisms, and it is our job as medical practioners to guide your body back to health. No problem is too small or too large to be treated properly.
Even those who have struggled with multiple visits to multiple doctors over the years can benefit from this approach. We can work together to find ways to reduce your medications, improve your energy and vitality and prevent further disease complications. Don’t ever give up, your life is too precious. We hope to see you soon.

PEDIATRIC CARE
We love kids! There is nothing more special to us than to be a part of your growing family. The integrative osteopathic approach we utilize was initially designed more than 150 years ago to treat sick children.
Children are especially sensitive to prescription medication. This is why going to a medical practice that looks for natural healing options first can be very beneficial! Of course, medication has it’s place, and we do not hesitate to prescribe it when needed. However, so often there are better ways to treat children that are free of dangerous side effects and poorly understood long-term consequences.

Our approach is different than the traditional medical approach starting at birth. Allopathic Medical societies (M.D.s) fail to recognize the immense pressure forces and complex circumstances that effect both mother and child during the delivery process. Before and during the descent into the birth canal, the infant has several physical obstacles to overcome to achieve a healthy delivery. Even the most easy deliveries can cause compression of immature structures of the head, neck and brain.
Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (O.M.T.), especially Cranial Osteopathy can be very helpful in rebalancing the body after this rough road. Dr. Bunsic routinely treats newborns with gentle O.M.T. therapies. Parents have been delighted at the decrease in colic, reflux, eating disorders, decrease in infections and improvements in mobility after treatments. We believe all infants benefit from Osteopathic Treatments soon after birth.

Likewise after falls, head traumas, concussions, car accidents and severe strains or fractures, Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment can help prevent future issues. A trauma that is untreated in a child may lead to chronic issues such as scoliosis, leg length inequality, bony deformities and chronic headaches as the child’s body grows and the pressure forces against the damaged area cause a domino effect. Many of these are preventable if you work with a medical team that knows what early signs to look for. Trust your parental instincts, if you feel like something is “not quite right” with your child, you need to seek out practioners skilled in such preventative therapies.
Our expertise in nutrition and lifestyle management applied to the pediatric population can change the course of a young life as well. We have treated many children with disorders such as diabetes and hypothyroidism. By intervening early with structured dietary changes, exercise, nutritional testing and appropriate replacement, many have been able to reduce or get off of medications.

We offer vaccination services in compliance with the Centers for Disease Control. In looking at the science of the immune system, we agree that especially in any children with known susceptibilities, using a modified vaccine schedule may be most appropriate. Our goal is to educate parents to make the best decisions for their children. We are glad to partner with you in growing your children to be the strongest, healthiest and happiest they can be.
PREVENTATIVE SERVICES
We are glad to promote health in our patients by providing a wide variety of services including but not limited to:
- Adult Physicals
- Women’s Wellness Physicals (female exam, PAP smear, mammography, STD screening)
- Children’s Physicals
- CDC recommended vaccines
- Heart health screenings- EKG, Calcium Score Heart Scans, Carotid US, bloodwork
- Testing for genetic issues in appropriate cases- MTHFR gene, BRCA gene, etc.
- Screening for treatment of causes of chronic fatigue such as Viral, Candida and Chronic Bacterial Infections
- Nutraeval Testing for complete nutrient analysis
- ALCAT Testing for food sensitivities
ALCAT testing
ALCAT Laboratory offers food intolerance testing. This test finds the answers for many about why they suffer from abdominal bloating, gas, pain and constipation despite trying to eat a healthy diet. ALCAT (Antigen Leukocyte Cellular Antibody Test) uses a whole blood sample. The test examines the final common inflammatory pathway in the body. In other words, the test looks for any and all inflammatory reactions to foods. The test results divide foods into severe, moderate, mild, and no reaction.
This test is different from the skin testing done by allergist or the blood testing done by hospital or clinic laboratories. Those test only the Immunoglobulin system, which only usually reacts to more severe allergies. There is also more cross reactivity in the skin when other allergies (such as environmental allergies to trees and grasses) that can lead to false-positive results in those tests.
We find helping individuals to find their hidden food allergy/sensitivities to be extremely rewarding. Many patients have successfully been able to use these results as part of a complete program to get off of stomach medicines, loose weight, better absorb vitamins and nutrients, and just feel better.

Difficult to treat conditions
Many of our patients have been to see a variety of medical doctors, often to many subspecialist, but don’t seem to find rational treatments for their conditions.
The holistic approach of looking at the whole person rather than just isolated symptoms seems to work very well with conditions such as fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndromes, chronic fatigue, memory loss and gastrointestinal conditions.

We look at the patient’s complete history, lifestyle factors and treatment history to find where the body has malfunctioned. Using a functional medicine model, we can uncover root issues and diligently work towards healing.
Utilizing state-of-the-art laboratory analysis, nutritional testing, food sensitivity testing, Osteopathic and Cranial Techniques, injection therapies and lifestyle interventions, we can work intensely to find healing even in the most difficult medical scenarios.
