Mike Williams realized the power of movement while sitting completely still. He was 10 years old, watching the The Karate Kid, when he found inspiration in Ralph Macchio’s stunning high kicks. Thus began his journey into the world of martial arts, which led him through Chinese kenpo, Brazilian jiujitsu, kickboxing, and more. After a detour into the sedentary world of finance, Williams returned to his passion for movement, but in a different capacity—he began to help others increase their range of motion through Rolfing, a manual physical therapy. Geared toward the connective tissue, or fascia, Rolfing begins at the body’s surface and transitions to deeper tissues over the course of a treatment series, which can be as few as two treatments or, more commonly, a progression of roughly 10 sessions. Ultimately, Williams uses the therapy to integrate the musculoskeletal and nervous systems into a cohesive whole, which can alleviate ailments from poor posture to having to cart around your skeleton in a sidecar.

To understand Kenneth Kassabian, D.D.S. General Dentist’s passion for blending science with art, one need only look at his impressive collection of custom-built guitars. When he isn’t shredding the frets on one of his trademark axes, the jack-of-all-trades dentist draws on more than 30 years of dental experience to tend to teeth of all ages with general and orthodontic treatments. Since opening his practice in 1995, Dr. Kassabian has discovered that each patient deals with a visit to the dentist differently; he and his professional staff thus offer sedation options that range from general anesthesia to the doctor’s own soothing covers of Air Supply songs.

Dr. Erica D. McConley's meticulous attention to detail, combined with her innate sense of compassion, garnered her a coveted Dean’s Leadership Award at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. Now, at Central Park Dental, she and her staff emphasize patient interaction and feedback, believing that trust and communication set patients at ease. To further build a sense of trust, Dr. McConley outfits her office with up-to-date dental technology designed to keep patients safe while providing accurate diagnoses. Intraoral cameras espy cavities and decay in the mouth’s furthest nooks and crannies. Digital x-rays reveal the hidden goings-on inside bone and teeth while reducing the radiation and nostalgia emitted by traditional x-rays by up to 90%.

Dr. Gary Prant can tell a lot from the way a person walks. As he explains it, one’s gait can reveal how the foot compensates for a lack of motion or for structural problems. With his findings, Dr. Prant can work with feet and joints, realigning the foot so his patients can walk comfortably without surgery or only going places via swimming. He calls this therapy foot manipulation, and it is just one of the nonsurgical options he offers at Arbor Foot Health Center. His many foot-wellness methods—which incorporate lasers, ultrasounds, and x-ray imaging—can treat several foot-centric issues, including sprains, athlete’s foot, gout, hammertoes, warts, and toenail fungus. He also custom fits orthotics and curates a stock of heel cushions, shoe sprays, and corn pads at his center’s foot store.

The staff at Vitalogy Skincare tends to skin's health and appearance across eight dermatology locations. Medical-dermatology services cover conditions such as acne, rosacea, and hair loss; cosmetic dermatology focuses on looks with Botox and Juvéderm injections, as well as laser removal of spider veins and hair. Lasers also resurface skin or guide complexions through photorejuvenation, which diminishes the appearance of sun damage to restore younger, more vibrant looking skin. Vitalogy also tackles skin cancer with Mohs surgery—in which founding doctor Eric Adelman, DO, is a fellowship-trained physician—a precise method that quashes the cancer by carefully removing tissue layer by layer.
