Brief Intro

Hi, I'm Dr. Brianna, DMSc, PA-C, ATC. I'm a Physician Assistant and Certified Athletic Trainer with an additional Doctorate in Medical Science. I specialize in chronic pain management. I have over a decade of patient care experience and a lifetime of experience with chronic pain. I have a condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which caused me to develop Craniocervical Instability (CCI) a Spinal CSF leak and dysautonomia. All of these are considered rare diseases, and I had to fight hard to even get a diagnosis- let alone treatment. I'm grateful to have a better quality of life since making my health a priority.My mission is to help others find relief from chronic illness so that they may live their best life. I believe education is the key to becoming healed and empowered!CertificationsPhysician Assistant, Certified (PA-C) - NCCPA Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) - NATABOCState of California PA LicensureOnline Teaching Certification - University of La VerneFascial Counterstrain Practitioner - The Jones Institute
