Acupuncture to Stem Cells: Understanding Your Integrative Options

July 27th,2017 | 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Professor/Instructor/Speaker: Greg  Coppola

In a medical environment dominated by potent pharmaceuticals, often with harmful side effects and surgical quick-fixes, Greg Coppola, DO, offers a lifestyle approach to wellness that emphasizes nonsurgical and non-medication options such as acupuncture, anti-inflammatory foods, osteopathic manual medicine techniques, meditation, prolotherapy, platelet rich plasma and stem cell injections. As Dr. Coppola asks, how do you understand your options for your aging body? The choices we become aware of may help prevent frailty and slow down the aging process. Dr. Coppola is the Director of the LECOM Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine Fellowship. He completed a sports medicine fellowship at Michigan State University and an Integrative medicine fellowship at the University of Arizona and is board certified in family medicine and neuromusculoskeletal medicine. He served as a team physician of the Erie Bayhawks and was also medical adviser to Mercyhurst University Sports Medicine.
