Dr. Steven H. Leifheit, DO is an osteopathic physician in Seattle focused on musculoskeletal conditions. He emphasizes spending time explaining each patient’s condition, treatment steps, and choices, and encourages active patient involvement in the therapeutic process. Drawing on osteopathic medical training, a field of specialization, and more than 30 years of experience, he works to identify key elements of a patient’s history, recognize restricted or abnormal motion, and make specific diagnoses to support effective treatment. When appropriate, he refers patients to physical therapy clinics in West Seattle and the Puget Sound area, and for conditions that cannot be fully resolved, he describes methods to reduce pain, improve mobility, lessen aggravation, and enhance quality of life.
