Personal Statement

While in her clinical training, Dr. van Zyl witnessed firsthand the impact and devastation of the opioid crises in the communities she served. As a result of this exposure, she decided to seek training that would allow her to provide a non-opiate based practice for her patients.

Dr. van Zyl’s clinic focuses on conservative measures to address a wide range of musculoskeletal patient concerns, utilizing Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) as her main modality. OMT is a hands-on, manual technique employed by Osteopathic Physicians that is used to ease pain and increase overall mobility, while promoting the body’s natural healing processes.
