Meet The Team
Dr. Ann Auburn
Ann Auburn, D.O. is a doctor of Osteopathy specializing in complimentary health care. She received her training at Michigan State University of Osteopathic Medicine completing her degree in 1992.
WHAT IS A D.O.?
A D.O. is a doctor of osteopathy, a fully licensed and medically trained physician, with additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of the musculoskeletal system.
Osteopathic medicine is a unique form of health care developed by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in 1874. Dr. Still was dissatisfied with the effectiveness of 19th Century medicine and believed that many of the medications of the day were useless or even harmful.
In response, Dr. Still founded a philosophy of health care focusing on the unity of all body parts. He identified the musculoskeletal system as a key element of health. He recognized the body’s natural ability to heal itself with stressing preventative medicine, eating properly and keeping fit.
The human body has a remarkable ability to heal itself with proper nourishment and care. Dr. Auburn uses a variety of approaches to harness this self-healing capacity.
All of these alternative approaches focus on improving immunity, chemistry and energy of the body. Specific protocols are individualized for each patient and their unique needs.
