Dr Laseter is a board-certified physician in Neuromusculoskeletal and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. He has four years of primary care residency training, and decades of training and teaching experience. He has been a clinical faculty member of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine for twenty years. He served as founder and director of the Mid-Atlantic Osteopathic Study Group for 17 years, which trained over 500 students in the cranial concept within osteopathy. He facilitated continuing medical education for the development of a group of physicians in the Mid-Atlantic region capable of practicing osteopathic manipulation at the specialty level. Dr Laseter has been consulted on patient care by Johns Hopkins University, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and other regional medical institutions. 

​

His focus has always been serving patients. For 30 years, he saw nearly 75 patients per week: that's more than 100,000 osteopathic treatments! He continues to see patients in Santa Fe, New Mexico on a limited basis.

​

In addition to his current clinical practice, Dr Laseter is sharing his synthesis of Osteopathy and East Asian healing traditions. This includes acupuncture, meditation, qigong (Taoist yoga), and internal martial arts such as taiji quan. He has designed a five-course series for his medical colleagues incorporating energetic approaches for osteopathy. 

He enjoys teaching other groups as well, and most of all, his patients. He offers classes, workshops, and private lessons through his Meditative Healing Arts of New Mexico. For all his current classes, please visit our sister site at:

WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?

Osteopathy began as a reformation of American medicine, and it remains so today. While only about ten percent of physicians, currently one in four medical students are enrolled in colleges of osteopathic medicine. It is the fastest growing health profession in the country. It is a way to put spirituality back into medicine, through the medium of human touch. Perhaps more than anything the practice of medicine needs humanization. Osteopathy provides doctors with the purpose to touch the patient again.
 

Osteopathic medicine is a uniquely American form of medicine with roots in the late 19th century that has spread around the world. In the US doctors of osteopathy (DO’s) practice the full range of medical and surgical specialties. They gravitate toward primary care disciplines like family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics and OB/GYN. 


What makes osteopathy special: 

 

  1. The founding philosophy premised upon seeking health within the patient rather than focusing solely on disease detection and management

  2. The principles and practice of manual or manipulative medicine to address functional imbalance in addition to standard medical and surgical care
