Pediatric Care
A primary care provider (PCP) is your main general doctor. They can specialize in Pediatrics, Geriatrics, General medicine, Internal medicine, or family practice. Dr. Williams is a doctor of osteopathy and is board certified in family practice as well as osteopathic manipulation (OMT).
Primary Care
Doctor Williams approach to family medicine (family practice – primary care) is aimed at promoting health and preventing disease. He is board certified in family medicine. He completed his residency training at Eisenhower Medical Center in 2002. After that he continued to practice in the US Army in family practice – primary care until 2005. Since then, he has been in private practice.
Smoking Cessation
Family Practice
Your family practice physician is where your path to wellness starts. Your PCP is your first contact for general health questions, annual check-ups, and illness. It’s important to have a family practice physician who knows your medical history and can coordinate care with specialists when needed.

Internal Medicine
According to the National Institutes for Health, looking at six studies, osteopathic manipulation significantly reduces low back pain. The Annals of Internal Medicine also recommends considering the use of spinal manipulation for treatment of acute and subacute low back pain. John C. Licciardone, D.O. and coworkers at the University of Texas medical school have shown that OMT is clinically effective for chronic low back pain.
Urinary Tract Infection

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Multiple Sclerosis
Epilepsy
Primarily used for the treatment of epilepsy, these drugs can also reduce nerve pain and ease neuropathic symptoms. Being prescribed an antiepileptic medication does not mean you have or you are at risk of developing epilepsy. The drug carbamazipine is usually used for people with a diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia.

Depression
Mental Health
Your DO will ask about your symptoms, lifestyle and other health concerns. It’s important to share information about your sleep habits, activity level, diet and mental health. DOs use this information to gain a clear picture of how your lifestyle affects your overall well-being.
Insomnia
Anxiety

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

MRI
Your DO will examine you by touching or pressing on different parts of your body. Depending on your symptoms, your DO may order imaging studies (like an X-ray or MRI ) before starting OMT.
X-Rays

Sciatica
Pain management is a branch of medicine that applies science to the reduction of pain. It covers a wide spectrum of conditions including neuropathic pain, sciatica, postoperative pain and more. Pain management is a rapidly growing medical specialty that takes a multi-disciplinary approach to treating all kinds of pain. Your doctor may refer you to pain management if she or he determines that your pain has become out of control.
Whiplash
Classical osteopaths are distinguished not only by their highly skilled palpation but also by the way they view and treat the human organism. Though most patients who seek care have specific complaints - perhaps an intractable headache they have had for years, or whiplash and low-back injuries from a car accident - the classical osteopath first looks for the health that is already existing in the body before looking at what's wrong. The form and function of the body is viewed as a complete and intelligent unit rather than broken into parts like the low-back, neck, or head, etc.
Neurosurgery
Other medical specialties represented in pain management are anesthesiology, neurosurgery, internal medicine and osteopathic manipulation. Your coordinating physician may also refer you for services from physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, and spinal nerve injections.

Lesions
The role of the osteopath in this process is that of a skilled detective studying the intrinsic structure and motions of an individual's body. Through observation, the osteopath uncovers primary lesions within the body and intelligently facilitates the transition as health reintegrates the system and brings the areas of imbalance, pain, and dysfunction, into harmonious balance. Over time, these lesions distinguish themselves less and less as areas of pain or dysfunctional conditions. Your body simply feels unencumbered by the distraction of illness or pain that originally brought you in for treatment.

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Chiropractic adjustments are similar to osteopathic manipulative treatments as they are both physical treatments. Like Osteopathy (OMT), Chiropractic is an effective treatment for many conditions including lower back pain, neck pain, arthritis, sports injuries, workers compensation, car injuries, automobile accidents, and scoliosis.
Physical Therapy
I saw her stretching out after a race & asked her if she was ok. She replied, “I be ok...Doctor Williams please.” All the other parents were shocked and amazed by her asking to see a doctor. After all our kids typically abhorred doctors because of all the medical concerns they have. So this was unheard of. The parents asked who he was and I said a Classical Osteopath in the Spokane Valley. Of course they then asked, “ Does it really work?” If she’s asking for him he must be doing a great job with her. My daughter was in a car accident several months ago. Her shoulder and back bothered her but shortly after Dr. Williams treatment she felt better even with physical therapy only Doctor Williams has been able to make a difference in her life.

Aquatic Therapy
Pain management takes on a new dimension when patients initiate their own home rehab program. This can include exercises learned at physical and aquatic therapy. Stretching is helpful for easing tension and decreasing strains which in turn can help reduce chronic pain. Tai Chi and Yoga have been found to help patients with joint and back pain. There is a lot of Tai Chi and Yoga instruction available geared towards less flexible individuals, older people, and pain management patients.
Manual Therapy
Most people get OMT to treat lower back pain, but DOs use OMT to treat many conditions. Babies, children and adults can benefit from osteopathic manipulative therapy. Pregnant women get OMT to improve sleep and relieve pain. OMT can also help infants who have colic.
