Dr. Smith's philosophy includes:

Discover and Treat the Cause, Not Just the Effect (tolle causam)—As stated by Samuel Hahnemann in the foundational book of classical homeopathy, the Organon: “The first and sole duty of the physician is to restore health to the sick.” Physicians are bound by oath to seek and treat the underlying cause of a disease. Nothing less is acceptable. Symptoms are a signal that something is out of balance, expressions of the body's natural attempts to heal itself. The origin of disease, also known as the “obstacle to cure” must be treated and/or removed so that the patient’s innate healing ability can instigate a full recovery.

Prevention is the best "Cure" (praevenire)—True prevention of disease is only accomplished through education coupled with self-discipline in maintaining a lifestyle that supports an individual’s health. Physicians assist in disease prevention by assessing risk factors, heredity susceptibility, and lifestyle factors to provide the patient with personalized recommendations and focused education that will aid patients in their personal quest for prevention. While physicians may be able to provide the education and recommendations necessary for prevention, the day-to-day actions of the patient will determine the final outcome. http://www.doctorasteacher.com

Professionally I focused on Carpal Tunnel and Tendonitis, because I have the experience and skill to deeply understand the dynamic, and because there is a HUGE need for it. I love helping people get out of long-term pain, quickly and easily. My favorite kind of client is someone who has had pain for years or decades, tried everything else that is out there but still has pain, and hopes against hope that there is a way to live pain free again.

I get a kick out of the look on their face when I work on them for ten minutes and they feel better than they've felt in years. And they have hope again. The bulk of my ten years of experience is with repetitive strain injury like Carpal Tunnel, Tennis Elbow, Plantar Fasciitis, Shin Splints, etc. http://www.tendonitisexpert.com
