SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Patient Centered Chiropractic Care W hen Dr. George “Geo” Toomey, D.C., established Toomey Chiropractic Center in Bethel Park in 2000, he knew he wanted to create a professional yet informal atmosphere where he could serve those in his community by fostering relationships with his patients and their families as a trusted provider. “I operate a small patient-centered practice and I’m the only doctor patients see,” Dr. Toomey said. “I evaluate and treat low back, neck and disc injuries, migraines and other ailments and I also focus on sports and exercise injuries, postural concerns, athletic form, corrective exercises and utilize the Ideal Protein weight loss protocol. I ensure each person receives individualized attention and conduct thorough assessments in order to uncover the root cause of their acute and/or chronic symptoms. I also incorporate a variety of modalities like ultrasound, electric stimulation and myofascial release in order to impact and alleviate their issues resulting in positive outcomes for my patients.” “As someone with an athletic background who remains active to this day, I learned as an aging active person how important the “little everyday stuff” can affect someone,” Dr. Toomey said. “Corrective and consistent exercises are important to incorporate and sustain way past your prime and that includes maintaining a healthy weight. We’re all going to naturally decline and degenerate as we age. The trick is to do it as slowly as possible.” Maintaining a healthy weight is something that can make a huge difference in everyone’s performance daily, regardless of age and activity levels. That’s why Dr. Toomey also stresses a clinical ketogenic diet such as Ideal Protein, which he has utilized in his practice for the past six years. Dr. Toomey said that anyone from the person looking to lose that last stubborn 10-20 pounds, to those classified as Obese and Morbidly Obese can benefit from the Ideal Protein protocol. “I had utilized a ketogenic diet before anyone knew what ‘keto’ was. And today, unfortunately, everyone lumps every keto diet together or they come up with a DIY plan, when you truly need proper supervision and coaching,” he said. “The Ideal Protein ketogenic protocol can help people not only lose weight, but address insulin challenges they may be facing as they naturally age. Losing just 10% of a person’s body weight can make a huge difference in their overall health and keep them from having to deal with issues like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. The bigger challenge is to maintain your weight after you are done! One of the concepts that sets us apart is that we have a structured plan to help keep your weight at a healthy level.” While most of his patients are in the 18 to 60 age bracket, Dr. Toomey provides care to all ages and holds a fellowship in the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, which enables him to specialize in the treatment of infants, children and expectant mothers. He also has ample experience in treating geriatric patients in his practice as well. Dr. Toomey graduated from St. Vincent College with a degree in Biology where he played soccer and was named to the All-Conference team and All- Area team. Dr. Toomey earned his doctorate of chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa. He also continues to compete in various endurance sports including cross-country, road running races, off-road races, marathons and triathlons and is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician. He and his wife, Becky, have three daughters, Moira, Maggie and Olivia and a Golden Retriever, “Boo Radley” and reside in Bethel Park.
