Imagine Life Without Chronic Pain
About Us
Advanced Musculoskeletal Medicine Consultants
Many of the patients who are referred to Advanced Musculoskeletal Medicine Consultants (AMMC) come to us after going from one health care provider to another and trying a range of traditional methods without relief from chronic musculoskeletal pain. It’s not uncommon for our patients to have heard, “Nothing more can be done” or “you’ll just have to live with it.” We understand your frustration and eagerness to find the relief needed to improve your life.
Musculoskeletal pain in joints, muscles, fascia, tendons and nerves can arise from scar formation secondary to prior injury, repetitive trauma, prior surgery, abnormal biomechanics and/or inflammation. The pain can also be perpetuated by disharmony in many different aspects of day-to-day life including stress, sleep, nutrition and activity to name a few. Combining traditional and complimentary medicine treatments addresses all of the underlying causes resulting in a more permanent resolution of pain.

8 Tenets of Integrative Medicine
- Patient and practitioner are partners in the healing process
- All factors that influence health, wellness, and disease are taken into consideration including mind, spirit, and community as well as body.
- Appropriate use of both conventional and alternative methods facilitates the body’s innate healing response.
- Effective interventions that are natural and less invasive should be used whenever possible.
- Integrative medicine neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically.
- Good medicine is based on good science. It is inquiry-driven and open to new paradigms.
- Alongside the concept of treatment, the broader concepts of health promotion and the prevention of illness are paramount.
- Practitioners of integrative medicine should exemplify its principles and commit their lives to self-exploration and self-development.

Testimonials
I am so grateful for Dr. Delzell. She has been a blessing on my journey of healing. She is an expert at what she is called to do. She is very thorough and takes the time. I really feel like she listens and cares. I have a complex diagnosis and she has been so helpful to diagnose and encourage me. I have been to several doctors in my journey and believe me when I say she has a heart of compassion and really cares about her patients. Her office staff is excellent and I feel at peace when I go there for my appointments. Dr. Delzell has been always excellent with giving my follow up notes so I understand What happened at our appointments and the things that I need to do. She truly is a blessing from God and I thank the Lord for her.
Very detailed evaluation and understanding of the problem of my back and hip!
Dr. Delzell has a very peaceful and reassuring personality. My wife was amazed how she was able to read what other radiologists missed in previous studies. Thanks to her skills in ultrasound and determining what is visible on both US and MRI’s, we can go forward with planning out the next steps in my wife’s health care.
Dr. Delzell was extremely friendly, thorough and took her time in helping me eliminate knee
pain from a sports injury. I would recommend her to anyone.
Excellent service and everyone is very knowledgeable! I’ve been seeing Dr. Delzell on and off for 4 years now; every time I’ve visited, it’s been worthwhile.
