Santa Fe, NM (PRWEB) December 10, 2014 -- Doctors of Naprapathy, Patrick Nuzzo and Kirsten La Vista, are proud to announce expansion plans of Southwest University of Naprapathic Medicine and Naprapathic Medicine of New Mexico in Santa Fe.
Both the university and the medical practice assist patients with pain relief by using Naprapathic Medicine – a system of manually applied movements, both passive and active, designed to bring motion with consequent release of tension into abnormally tensed and rigid ligaments, muscles and articulations of the human body.
This form of manual medicine is used to treat patients without the use of drugs with pain associated from a variety of reasons such as injuries from automobile and sporting accidents to those suffering from fibromyalgia and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Naprapathic treatment for PTSD was recently featured in the news as an effective way to treat U.S. Veterans after Dr. Nuzzo conducted a private study on the subject. Results of the initial 10-week study showed that all participants felt some degree of pain relief ranging from 10% to 90%.
Doubling in space, the university and practice will connect allowing easy access and flow of services from students, doctors and patients and will be conveniently located at 2600 Botulph directly across the street from CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center. Licensed and regulated in the state of New Mexico by the medical board, Naprapathic treatment is now covered by many major insurance companies which will allow the practice to continue to grow as more and more patients seek natural ways to heal the body without the use of prescription drugs.
“I can’t think of a more rewarding career than dedicating one’s life to helping others,” said Dr. Patrick Nuzzo, founder of Southwest University of Naprapathic Medicine. “I studied Naprapathic Medicine because I looked up to my uncle who practiced it in the 1950’s. He was way ahead of his time using food and this form of manual medicine as a way to heal. He had a huge practice in Chicago where people would come from all over and wait for hours to see him. I grew up going to see my uncle verses traditional doctors for any ailments. I knew then, that I wanted to help others as he did, without the use of drugs.”
The Southwest University of Naprapathic Medicine is currently enrolling students with classes beginning in January of 2015.

About Naprapathy
Naprapathy was established in the 1900s by Dr. Oakley Smith, an osteopathic student and early chiropractor. Dr. Smith was one in a handful of early chiropractors to study under Daniel David Palmer (D.D. Palmer), considered to be the founder of modern Chiropractic. In time, Dr. Smith developed his own theories on Palmer’s concepts of vertebral subluxation, one which focused more on healing and repairing connective tissue. Through extensive anatomical research, Dr. Smith discovered that fibrous, or dense, connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, and muscles) when damaged or over-used, led to a rigid, scar-like condition in the body that often interfered and aggravated closely aligned nerves. Doctors of Naprapathic Medicine are connective tissue specialists. Naprapathy's philosophy is based upon a belief that all biological processes are aimed at survival and perpetuation of the species. Your body is inherently programmed to move toward health (homeostasis).
