 Dr. Maurice's wholesome approach to healthcare is one of the reasons why she chose to become an osteopath. Osteopathy is a field that is unique compared to conventional medicine. It is a natural approach of the treatment of the musculoskeletal system (muscles and bones). The relationship between the musculoskeletal and nervous system is a form of a biofeedback (regulation) process that can make a difference between improved activities of daily living and chronic, debilitating pain. Medicinal therapy is also a viable treatment and sometimes is the only treatment available for some disease processes such as resistant hypertension. Other circumstances might warrant the two different approaches be combined such as in persistent, back pain. Dr. Maurice is now accepting new patients and would like to grow with this community as it faces the challenges of new health care reform, economic recovery and new building projects in the area. She is currently on staff at St. Cloud Regional Medical Center and will be on staff at Osceola Regional Medical Center and Florida Hospital, Kissimmee in January. Late appointments can be made, walk-ins are always welcome and telephone consultation is available during business hours. |
