That emphasis reflects a longstanding commitment to osteopathic manipulative treatment as both a diagnostic and therapeutic discipline—one that looks closely at structure, function, and the ways physical restriction can influence overall wellbeing. The work is not limited to routine pain complaints; it reflects an integrative approach intended to meet complex patterns of dysfunction with a combination of manual skill and medical perspective. The practice is led by Richard Feely, an accomplished physician whose work spans osteopathic manipulative medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and family practice.

His professional record also includes scholarly and educational contributions that reinforce the center’s clinical identity. Among them are published work on progressive infantile scoliosis managed with osteopathic manipulative treatment and on neuro-ocular release as an osteopathic technique for resolving somatic dysfunction. He also created a web-based OMM/OMT test preparation program, extending his involvement in the field beyond patient care into osteopathic education.

That broader engagement reaches into international health as well. Feely served as a Temporary Consultant in Integrative Medicine for the World Health Organization in 2016 and 2017, where he led the International Workshop on Quality of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Services in Practice. The same combination of manual medicine, integrative thinking, and professional leadership informs the character of Feely Center for Optimal Health: a practice devoted to osteopathic care that is both clinically focused and intellectually serious, with particular strength in treating pain through skilled, hands-on medicine.
