About

Dr. Isaac Deatherage, DO, MPH

I’m an osteopathic physician combining whole-person primary care, lifestyle medicine, prevention, and hands-on healing.

With 20 years in science and medicine, I bring back what healthcare needs.

Presence, connection, and trust in the body’s ability to heal.

Read More

I’ve spent the last 20 years immersed in both science and healing. Raised in a home where natural medicine was a way of life, with naturopathic parents and a spiritually grounded family, I was taught to value presence, self-awareness, and nature’s ability to restore balance. This was long before “functional” or “integrative” medicine became popular terms.

My academic path blended rigorous research and timeless wisdom. As a pre-medical student, my studies included biology, chemistry, and cognitive neuroscience while conducting research in nanobiotechnology and artificial bone replacement. I later earned a Master of Public Health while conducting research on health literacy and nutrition. In parallel, I ran a tutoring company for students of all ages, teaching biology, chemistry, and physics — learning how to communicate complex ideas with clarity and compassion.

I went on to earn my DO degree in osteopathic medical school, where I studied conventional medicine, the traditional hands-on osteopathic philosophy (osteopathic manipulation, OMT/OMM), lifestyle interventions, and mind-body counseling. I then completed two additional years of postgraduate clinical education in Osteopathic Medicine, from OMT, family and emergency medicine, to surgery.

As a licensed physician, I’ve chosen not to become a specialist. Instead, I’ve committed to the legacy of traditional osteopaths, the way old-fashioned DOs used to be, who were whole-person general practitioners and could help healing within multiple specialties for all people. As the founder of osteopathy, A.T. Still, said, “a true doctor understands the whole person.” I live that principle and guide others toward it.

I now help people restore health in body, mind, and spirit. Thoroughly understanding pharmacology allows me to safely work towards non-reliance on medication. I believe the body is capable of healing when given the right environment, not just substances. Most professions, even natural, treat symptoms without solving root causes. I help patients rediscover what it feels like to truly be well.

Healing your body, mind, and spirit

Body

Your body is designed to heal. Remove obstacles and restore physiology with OMT, exercise, and nutrition

Read More

Nutrition & Lifestyle

My focus is on essentials: nutrient density and chemical avoidance. Every bite should count, rich in healing compounds that feed you at the deepest level. At the same time, we eliminate harmful chemicals so your body isn’t burdened with toxins that prevent recovery.

Movement & Exercise

Exercise should nourish your body, not punish it. The common idea of “burning off” bad food is backward. Instead, I’ll teach you how movement helps deliver nutrients deep into your tissues while flushing out waste. Your plan will be based on your unique history. It doesn’t have to be complicated, it just needs to work for you.

Osteopathic Manipulation (OMT)

OMT is one of the most effective, hands-on tools available in medicine today. OMT restores physiology, often brings immediate relief, and sets the stage for deeper healing. I’ll show you how to maintain with homework you can do for free.

Herbs, Supplements, & Natural Remedies

Natural medicine is powerful for acute and chronic issues. My goal is to use these tools temporarily, strategically, while we rebuild your foundation true self-healing. We may use herbs, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, vitamins and minerals, and most importantly as Hippocrates said thousands of years ago, specific foods as medicine.

Mind

Mental health isn’t suppression, it’s listening. Help stress, anxiety, and behavior with counseling and cranial therapy

Read More

Mental health begins with understanding, not suppression. Rather than numbing emotions with medications or distractions, we look at what your thoughts are trying to tell you. We uncover the deeper roots of stress, anxiety, low mood, or any other mental concern. I don’t believe in labeling you as a condition like other counselors, but understand that these characteristics can be strengths that are many times at odds with modern society.

Your plan will include behavioral counseling, cranial manipulation, lifestyle and nutritional counseling, and natural medicines, but our long-term focus is always on the foundation: supporting self-healing. It is a path toward clarity, resilience, and lasting emotional wellness. The way you live each day directly affects how you feel, think, and respond to the world.

A powerful tool we will use is cranial manipulation, a subtle form of OMT that can release deeply stored emotional tension held in the tissues of the body. Many emotional patterns and memories are imprinted physically, often without our awareness. This can help restore balance, help you process, and move forward.

Spirit

Spirit is the foundation of health. It shapes our mindset, gives us purpose and meaning, and helps us choose

Read More

Spiritual health is more than meditation or positive thinking. It is a way of being and connection to the higher purpose. Strong spiritual health can reduce stress and promote healing in the body. Spiritual healing requires a transformation of mindset, an openness to ancient wisdom, and a return to nature where that wisdom is revealed. Have you ever seen someone “peaceful” and get totally frazzled at the slightest bit of stress? Have you seen modern culture fascinated with being offended and polarized without consideration for others, for love? Heal from the foundation, find contentment, and be comforted.

Traditional osteopathy views the Spirit as a connection between our physical and celestial self (soul). I palpate this as the piezoelectric properties of your fascia, the cranial rhythm that comes from your head and travels throughout your body, and as the breath of life instilled in your sphenoid bone by the Creator. This is not necessarily religion, it is spirituality.

Your plan will include spiritual counseling and classes of embracing the need of our Creator, passion, emotions, humility, goodness, mercy, love, kindness, peace with others and ourselves, the ability to withstand ridicule, patience, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Nature teaches us about balance, harmony, and design. Through simple practices like learning edible wild foods, spending time outdoors, and understanding basic biology and ecology, we begin to see nature as a sacred text. These qualities are not abstract ideals. They are practical, shape the way we think, speak, live, and heal.

True lifestyle change

I was overweight, smoked, and hurt. Isaac helped me change my life without suffering.

Sarah

Read More

I used to be overweight, smoke, and hurt all over constantly. Isaac helped me change my life! He worked with me slow and gave me only a few assignments at a time that were doable, I didn’t have to suffer, and I didn’t have to be hungry. He helped me get to the cause of why I craved certain things and help me think differently so I could actually make changes. And of course, his OMT is amazing.

Dancing after 71

Thank you! After 71 years, I am pain-free and am dancing with my girlfriend!

-Frank

Thank you for changing my life! After 71 years of pain, I didn’t think it was possible to feel good. Now I have a girlfriend and am dancing again!

Suicidal to hopeful

I had suicide attempts, multiple meds, side effects. Now I am excited to get up!

-Melissa

Read More

I was so sad before I met Dr. Deatherage. I had multiple suicide attempts, tardive dyskinesia from my antipsychotic meds, fell down the stairs, developed essential tremor, and one disease after another. Every specialist gave me more and more meds, my weight increased, physical therapy hurt, meds had horrible side effects… then Isaac touched me with his empathy and complete plan. He started slow, gave me a dietary plan, osteopathic manipulation… and then my internist had to start decreasing my blood pressure and diabetes meds as my symptoms improved. He gives me unique behavioral counseling during cranial manipulation. I look forward to our appointments, especially because he actually cares and gives me a hug each time. I have stopped falling!!! My posture has dramatically improved, I do his exercises every day, drink more water, and I am finally excited to get up in the morning. What a beautiful soul.”

Pain to power

My disc herniated deadlifting and I couldn’t breathe… with treatment I rapidly healed!

-Drew

Read More

My L5 disc herniated deadlifting and I was in excruciating pain, spasms, and couldn’t breathe. I crawled into see him when he was working in the hospital, Isaac did the most gentle manipulation, the pain immediately lessened, I felt my low back and butt relax, the spasms stopped, he assigned me homework, and in 3 visits I am able to live again. He referred me to neurosurgery just in case I needed it, and I cancelled it since I improved so rapidly! He gave me a lot of homework that I faithfully do, taught me how to sit, bend, stand, what not to do… He taught me how to eat healthy and specific foods to help with disc regeneration and anti-inflammation. Thank you so much!

Walking free

I was in constant pain, barely walking but after a few sessions, I was pain-free and walking.

Lorri B

Read More

I first met Dr. Deatherage after suffering for two long years with an exercise-induced injury to my left hip. I had seen my primary care doctor, multiple chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, and even an acupuncturist, all without improvement. I feared I’d spend the rest of my life in pain, barely able to walk.

After just one session with Dr. Deatherage, I noticed marked improvement. After a few more, I was pain-free and walking without assistance. He changed my life!

Then, two months ago, I was in a car accident while visiting Scotland. I walked away from the crash but developed intense spinal pain and severe muscle spasms. As soon as I returned to the U.S., I texted Dr. Deatherage. He responded immediately and offered to see me the next morning.

With great care, he gently realigned my ribs and recommended an x-ray — which revealed a compression fracture in my thoracic spine. He guided me through a holistic healing plan with specific nutrition, leafy greens, high protein, hydration — and it made a difference. I eventually needed a kyphoplasty procedure to restore the compressed vertebrae, and after that, my ribs were again misaligned. Dr. Deatherage treated me post-op, carefully realigned my ribs again, and helped me regain mobility so I could stop using a walker.

He even checks in regularly by text. He truly listens, cares, and has been there for me through it all. I am beyond grateful. Dr. Deatherage is the best!

Autoimmune help

I didn’t think my autoimmune conditions were inflammation. I’m out of pain.

-Annie

Read More

I didn’t think my autoimmune conditions could possibly be related to inflammation and what my lifestyle was. Boy was I mistaken. I thought I was already healthy, eating well, and that I had to have expensive procedures. I had all the new studies, signed up for research, and still struggled with prolapse and cystitis. With gentle changes, hands-on, and therapy, I can finally function without constant burning pain and discomfort.

Healer and God-send

Isaac brings peace and healing on every level. He’s not just a doctor, he’s a true healer.

-Lisa G

Read More

Dr. Isaac is not just a doctor — he’s a Healer with a true gift.

He takes time. He truly cares. There’s a peace that flows from him that has brought healing to me on many levels — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

He helped restore my structural alignment and strength, especially in a knee that had been bothering me for some time. He also teaches exercises that continue the healing process forward, and he explains them clearly and patiently. But even more than that, he’s been helping me with my Hashimoto’s, gut health, and dietary education in a way that makes real sense — not overwhelming, but empowering and clear. He also integrates spiritual healing into his work — visualization, grounding, and connecting with nature in ways that are truly transformative.

His gifting, knowledge, and willingness to come alongside someone in need is a rare find. He genuinely listens and treats the whole person. He has been an answer to my prayers.

I’m so thankful to have Dr. Isaac on the journey with me. He is a God-send. Thank you, Dr. Isaac!

Multiple sclerosis

With diet, my pain went down, my latest MRI showed improvement, he was amazed!

-Meaghan

Read More

Dr. Deatherage was able to help me finally have answers. I now understand how my multiple sclerosis is affected by what I eat. He didn’t promise that lifestyle would change my disease, but he suggested that I journal my food and my pain score every day. Then on my own, I began to realize the days that I followed his dietary recommendations and stretches, my pain score was only a 2/10 instead of a 8/10. Then to my amazement, my latest brain MRI showed a decrease in the intensity of my lesions. Also, I have gone a year without a flare needing steroids! Even he was amazed, never promised me that lifestyle would cure me, and encouraged me to continue with my regular neurologist, but encouraged me lifestyle could help. I know in my heart he is a healer!

Scoliosis relief

I have scoliosis literally on the side of my body. I am going weeks without pain.

-Janette

Read More

I have scoliosis, 80 degrees in my lumbar spine literally on the side of my body that hurts when I sit and lean back, and 50 degrees in my lower thoracic spine. At 86 years old, I was just expecting to hurt after surgeries. He explained that with my extreme condition as well as stenosis, that osteopathy is very safe. He literally barely touched my hips and didn’t touch my spine at all because he said he didn’t want to decompensate me. I am going weeks without pain. I am so happy.”

Safe relief with fusion

I love to rebuild classic cars and have a fusion. Dr. Deatherage has drastically helped me.

-Bill

Read More

I love to rebuild classic cars, look down a lot working, and have an ACDF fusion C3-5. Dr. Deatherage has drastically helped me be able to move my neck while being careful of my surgical history. He never did any aggressive moves but very gentle manipulation on the fascia and cranial rhythm. At first I was skeptical because he was barely moving his hands, but the relief was immediate and lasting.

An answer to prayers

You improved my quality of life…an answer to prayers! The world is better because of you.

-Leesa

Read More

You have improved my quality of life since my first visit with you; an answer to prayers! I feel so much better nowadays. I’m eating more veggies than I used to, and stretches are my new Friend 🙂 I wish you all the best!! The world is a better place because of you.

Neuralgia pain gone

I had shooting pain on both sides of my head. I call Dr Deatherage “magic hands.”

-Kathryn

Read More

I am 74 years old and had shooting pain on both sides of my head from my ears down my neck and to my elbows. So many specialists, injections, and medications. I call Dr Deatherage “magic hands.” My whole body just melts when he touches me and gives me OMT, I stand up and all my pain is gone for months at a time. He has compassion, listens to me, and helped me have a purpose and leave my bedroom and do exercises out in the sunshine that comes through the window in my living room. He explained that I still need to see my specialists since I refuse to change my diet, but hey, I get relief and at my age, I’m happy with that!

Years of pain relieved

Sciatica and migraines were debilitating until Dr. Deatherage…after years of pain!

-James

Read More

My sciatica and migraines were debilitating until Dr. Deatherage gave me one treatment, and gave me homework to do on my own, including for spiritual health. I am not kidding I knew right away he had a gift. I am so much better and able to function again after years of pain!

Teen sports injury

My 13 year old daughter had pain in sports. Now a whole season has passed without pain!

-Erin

Read More

I’m a mom with a busy life helping my daughters go to multiple appointments. Dr. Deatherage was able to help my 13 year old daughter who was having shoulder pain in softball and right hip pain in cheer. He found a rotation in her hip as well as slight scoliosis, but what made him unique, is that he gave exercises, helped her with posture, and recommended a different position for her phone (that she is constantly on lol) so we only had to see him a few times. He actually got her to eat kale, go figure, I tried and she fought me and she was like, “okay” for him. Wow! Now a whole season has passed without pain! Thank you!
