Integrating systems in order to improve the efficiency of treatment in medicine has been a primary interest of Dr. Kohn. This is based in his osteopathic educational roots, which stresses the interrelatedness of the body’s structure and function. Combining an approach that views an integration of the brain and mind is an extension of this philosophy. Brain SPECT imaging is the tool Dr. Kohn uses to apply this approach in his practice.
