Bob offers a rare combination of three powerful, evidence-backed modalities in one practice — giving patients access to comprehensive, integrative care close to home.

SoftWave Shockwave Therapy

As one of the first 200 practitioners in the U.S. certified in SoftWave Shockwave Therapy, Bob offers this breakthrough, non-invasive technology that activates healing at the cellular level. Trained directly under the German orthopedic doctors who pioneered this technology, Bob brings Mayo Clinic and San Francisco 49ers-trusted care directly to patients in and around Grass Valley.

SoftWave uses patented electrohydraulic acoustic technology to stimulate stem cell activation, promote angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth), reduce inflammation, and accelerate tissue regeneration — often turning months of recovery into weeks. No surgery. No injections. No downtime.

SOFTWAVE HELPS WITH:

• Chronic pain: arthritis, back pain, sciatica, neck pain

• Sports injuries: tendonitis, sprains, ligament and joint pain

• Post-surgery recovery and scar tissue

• Neuropathy and diabetic foot pain

• Plantar fasciitis (90%+ success rate)

• Shoulder injuries: rotator cuff, calcific tendinopathy

• Knee conditions: osteoarthritis, ACL tears, ligament injuries

• Achilles tendinopathy, ankle sprains

• Non-healing wounds and diabetic ulcers
  

EECP Heart Therapy

Enhanced External Counterpulsation Therapy (EECP) is an FDA-cleared, cardiologist-recommended, non-invasive heart recovery treatment available to patients near Grass Valley. For people living with chronic angina, heart disease, poor circulation, or fatigue who cannot — or do not want to — pursue surgery, EECP offers a powerful, proven alternative.

During treatment, pressure cuffs gently compress the legs in sync with your heartbeat, helping push oxygen-rich blood back to the heart. Over time, this stimulates the formation of natural bypass vessels through angiogenesis — providing lasting relief that can endure for up to 3 years. Up to 80% of patients experience significant symptom relief.

EECP HELPS WITH:

• Chronic angina (chest pain, pressure, tightness)

• Coronary artery disease and heart failure

• Fatigue, low stamina, and shortness of breath with activity

• Poor circulation and palpitations

• Patients who are not candidates for surgery or have not found relief from medications

• Recovery support after angioplasty or bypass surgery

Treatment consists of 35 one-hour sessions over 7 weeks (Monday–Friday). Most patients find the sessions relaxing — many nap during treatment. This isn't a quick fix; it's a commitment to lasting heart health.

Osteopathic Manual Therapy

With over 25 years of practice and training at the Canadian College of Osteopathy, Bob brings one of the most advanced and integrative osteopathic approaches available anywhere. His work goes far beyond structural alignment — he addresses the nervous system, organs, fascia, lymphatics, and the body's deepest rhythms to uncover the true root of dysfunction.

Bob's diagnostic approach can reveal connections that other practitioners miss: how your chronic headaches might trace to hip tension pulling on the spine, or how a frozen shoulder could originate in restricted ribs or the liver. This level of insight — and the gentle, precise work that follows — is what patients describe as transformative.

OSTEOPATHIC THERAPY INCLUDES:

• Cranial Osteopathy / CranioSacral Therapy: a biodynamic approach addressing physical and emotional tension

• Brain Therapy: direct work with neurons, glymphatics, and brain structures

• Lymph Drainage Therapy: manual mapping to detect and reroute compromised lymphatic flow
  

• Visceral & Neural Manipulation

  Gentle work with organs and nerves to restore balance

• Bone Marrow Work: applied to immune dysfunction and allergies

• Heart-Centered Therapy: a transformative approach focused on the wisdom of the heart
  

CONDITIONS TREATED:

• Chronic pain, sciatica, neck and back pain, arthritis

• Headaches, brain injury, concussion recovery

• Trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms

• TMJ, neuropathy, fascia issues

• Lymphatic conditions, allergies, immune dysfunction

• Children's health: developmental, behavioral, postural, and nervous system support
  

Why Patients from Grass Valley Choose Bob

Grass Valley patients choose Bob because his practice is one of the only places in Nevada County offering SoftWave, EECP, and advanced osteopathic care under one roof. Patients come from Grass Valley having already tried physical therapy, chiropractic care, and medications — often for years — without lasting results. Bob's integrative approach gets to the root of the issue, not just the symptoms. His 25+ years of training, combined with cutting-edge tools trusted by Mayo Clinic and professional sports teams, makes his practice uniquely positioned to help with complex and chronic conditions.
