Osteopathy's award for Outstanding Contributions to Osteopathic Medicine.
Dr. McHenry has exceptional skills in palpatory diagnosis of soft tissue injury and its subsequent treatment and rehabilitation. With his strong background in Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine, teaching and research interests, Dr. McHenry is committed to taking medical causation analysis beyond the typical reliance on patient history. Specifically, Dr. McHenry will examine an individual's medical records, imaging films and operative reports to determine if the condition in question is likely acutely traumatic, pre-existing or degenerative in nature. This true application of a medical causation analysis can be crucial to the foundation of a plaintiff or defendant case. In traumatic soft-tissue injury cases, Dr. McHenry's extensive clinical background has made him keenly aware of the appropriate treatment modalities and lengths of treatments. This expertise can be utilized to determine the likely necessity of medical care received.
