Dr. Lisa D'Eramo DC, ND
Philosophy of care
Dr. Lisa D'Eramo is a Chiropractor and Naturopathic physician who has spent her career specializing in natural health care and wellness. While always wanting to become a doctor, she saw the limitations of western medicine in finding and treating patients as a whole. Her search for something more brought her to Chiropractic and the field of functional medicine and nutrition.
Education
Dr. Lisa's path to whole-body healing began at the University of Cincinnati earning her Bachelor of Science in Biology. She went on to attend the National College of Chiropractic (now National University of Health Sciences) in Chicago where she earned her second Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and, in 1995, her Doctor of Chiropractic Degree.
Since then, she has continued to expand her training. Dr. Lisa is a Naturopathic Physician, certified in Functional Medicine and is an Advanced Clinically Trained Nutrition Response Testing practitioner. She is certified in the Webster Technique and has taken many courses in pediatrics and pre/post-natal care. Additionally, Dr. Lisa has completed clinical coursework required to sit for the Certified Clinical Nutritionist examination and she is currently pursuing an Advanced Functional Medicine Clinician (AFMC) certification through the Kharrazian Institute.
In addition to Chiropractic, Functional Medicine and Nutrition, she utilizes blood chemistry analysis, functional lab testing, saliva testing, along with other modalities to attain a whole/total body approach to healing.
Dr. Lisa's Health Story
While at chiropractic school, Dr. Lisa received a mandatory vaccination for the mumps. Shortly after she started to have a problem with her blood platelets (the cells which help in clotting the blood.) As her situation worsened, she went to many medical doctors and had multiple tests along with a bone marrow biopsy to determine the cause of her problem. However, her condition was always brushed off as being from the use of aspirin, a lab variable, since none of the traditional medical thinking could figure out what the problem was. As a last resort, she consulted a doctor who utilized muscle testing and nutrition in his practice. He found the vaccination and chemicals in the immunization were affecting her. After utilizing nutrition for 3 weeks her platelet levels increased 25% and have continually improved over time. Dr. Lisa has had other conditions that have responded wonderfully to natural health methods.
