Dr. Caplan offers an integrative approach to restoring and optimizing her patient's health through functional medicine.  But most of all, she listens to her patients! Dr. Caplan raised two daughter as a single parent. They were active young athletes now grown young women with children of their own. She understands the challenges of living in the fast pace reality of our local community. It was her own personal struggles that led her to Chiropractic and Functional Medicine.  She suffered a severe knee injury while skiing which required reconstructive surgery.  “I stopped at my Chiropractor’s office for an adjustment after every physical therapy session because it was the only thing that prevented me from limping.  I realized then how much I could help others overcome, prevent, or recover from injuries. In 2003, after the passing of her Father, she became passionate about learning how to help others stuck within the confines of traditional medicine.  She began practicing differently.  Functional Medicine allows me to teach others how to feel the messages your body sends you and how to support the systems that need it until your body can breakthrough the barriers that limit you. “ Doctor Caplan looks at the patient as a whole and discovers which systems in your body aren’t functioning optimally by looking at lab work.  She chooses her patient's care plans carefully and individually utilizing her weather of knowledge from years of practice experience. Her keen diagnostic skills and integrative capacity have formulated the best of what can be offered today in strategies for reaching and maintaining personal goals in physical and emotional fitness, and overall well being.
