Jackson Friedman, D.O. believes in the effectiveness of appropriately applied touch to enhance the body’s innate healing capabilities. This holistic approach to wellness is gentle and non-intrusive, yet deep and effective. He is intrigued with the process of healing and has used his hands, heart, and mind to support wellness since 1979. To assess the cause of your symptoms, Dr. Friedman uses palpation as well as the most current medical knowledge and technologies. In his treatments, he finds and accentuates areas that function well and extrapolates that experience into restricted tissue. Dr. Friedman helps you to remember how “normal” feels. Once reminded, the body knows best how to restore optimal health. This occurs via sensory-motor feedback loops between mind and body whose reflexes instigate your therapeutic process. Dr. Friedman utilizes an array of non intrusive techniques based on traditional osteopathic practice, that influence nerves, muscles, fascia, joints, vasculature, and lymphatics. Restoration of optimal muscle tone and neuromuscular function are common results leading to increased range of motion, greater ease and comfort, improved posture, alleviation of pain and enhanced well-being. 

Dr. Friedman is a graduate of the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine and the rotating medical internship at Mercy Hospital, Portland Maine. He completed his residency in Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine and Osteopathic Manual Medicine at North Shore University Plainview Hospital. He holds a license to practice medicine in the State of Hawaii and New York State and has privileges at Kula Hospital and Maui Medical Center. He constantly enriches his skills by taking continuing education courses with The Cranial Academy, The Sutherland Cranial Teaching Foundation, The American Academy of Osteopathy and the Barral Institute for Visceral Manipulation and Biodynamics. Dr. Friedman is a member of the American Osteopathic Association, the American Academy of Osteopathy, the Cranial Academy, and the Osteopathic International Alliance.
