Kelly A. Busby DO, BCNMM/OMM, IFMCP
Board Certified Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine / Certified Functional Medicine Physician
Certifications/Credibility
Hello, my name is Kelly Busby (like a Buzzing Bee!) DO, and I have been an osteopathic physician for 15 years. I went into osteopathic medicine because I love anatomy and learning how the body works. But once I got into medical school and truly learned how to use my hands in my osteopathic manipulation classes, my love for anatomy grew. I was finally able to truly examine a patient and through my hands on training, really figure out what was going on inside their bodies, and then help them to correct it. I became Board Certified in Osteopathic Family Medicine in 2007 and then I went on in osteopathic manipulative medicine training, becoming Board Certified in Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine in 2008. I have also had a long-standing interest in nutrition, starting in my college biochemistry class. I have studied many different healing diets, attended many nutritional conferences and am a Certified Primal Blueprint Health Coach. I am also studying Bioindividual Nutrition. All of this has led me to nutrigenomics (study of how nutrition effects our genes) and food as medicine. My functional medicine training was through the Institute of Functional Medicine. I am a Certified Functional Medicine Physician. I am now a Certified NES practitioner. I love integrating the Bioenergetics of NES health into my practice, as it really expands my osteopathic ability to treat the patient even when they are not at my office. Bringing medicine, nutrition, lifestyle, and body electric all together. This all leads back to my osteopathic approach to the whole patient – mind, body, and spirit.
"Perspective" on Health
The Four Tenets of Osteopathy:
1) The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit.
2) The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance.
3) Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.
4) Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function.
The Functional Medicine approach includes:
Patient-centric care: The focus of functional medicine is on patient-centric care. Here we promote health as a positive vitality, beyond just the absence of disease.
Integrative, science-based healthcare approach: Functional Medicine practitioners search “upstream” for causes that could lead to illness. The unique genetic makeup of each patient is considered, along with both internal (mind, body and spirit) and external factors (physical and social environment) that could affect total functioning.
Integrating best medical practices: Functional medicine integrates traditional Western medical practices with what is commonly considered “alternative” or “integrative” medicine. This creates a focus on prevention through means of better nutrition, diet and exercise
Use of the latest lab testing and diagnostic techniques
Prescribed combination of drugs and/or botanical medicines, supplements, etc.
