Who is Dr. Sousa right for?
Dr. Sousa is a strong fit for adults seeking root-cause answers to chronic or complex conditions. Patients dealing with musculoskeletal pain, autoimmune issues, digestive disorders, or hormonal imbalances benefit from her integrative approach. She works well with individuals who want hands-on osteopathic treatment alongside functional lab testing and nutritional guidance. Those managing conditions like fibromyalgia, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, IBS, migraines, or post-concussion syndrome often find her multi-disciplinary skill set particularly useful. Because the practice serves as a supplemental model, patients who already have a primary care physician and want specialized osteopathic and integrative care make an ideal fit.
