Covenant Health Opens New Metabolic and Osteopathic Care Clinic 

As many people set goals around wellness, strength, weight management and vitality, we’re excited to announce the official launch of Covenant Health’s new Metabolic and Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) Clinic.   

This new space is designed to support sustainable weight loss and healthy habits. Our team uses science-based methods and personalized care to help patients manage metabolic conditions, reduce pain, improve mobility and achieve their overall health and wellness goals.  

Care Customized to Your Needs   

At the heart of the clinic is our medical director, Elizabeth Dockery, DO, DABOM. Dr. Dockery is board-certified in family medicine and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT).  She also serves as a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. More than that, she is a specialist dedicated to understanding the full picture of your metabolic health.   

“Instead of relying on generic approaches, our team begins with comprehensive metabolic assessments. We evaluate factors such as insulin response, nutrient deficiencies and body composition,” explains Dr. Dockery. “These insights allow us to design tailored nutrition and lifestyle plans that work with your biology, not against it.”    

Personalized treatment plans often include:  

• Tailored nutrition  

• Lifestyle plans  

• Sustainable weight management strategies  

• Support for conditions such as prediabetes  

Elevate Your Healing with OMT  

A key component of services at the clinic is OMT. This hands-on, evidence-based therapy helps the body function optimally.   

OMT can ease musculoskeletal pain, improve mobility and enhance overall well-being. When integrated as part of a care plan, it creates a powerful whole-body approach that aligns physical structure with internal function.  

“The osteopathic philosophy recognizes that each person is a unified being of body, mind and spirit with an inherent capacity for self-regulation and self-healing,” explains Dr. Dockery. “Osteopathic structural treatments are based on supporting the body’s natural functions to optimize health and outcomes. By enhancing the body’s innate ability to heal itself, we strive to promote wellness from the inside out.” 

Focused On Long-Term Results  

The clinic’s focus on sustainable weight management means patients won’t find fad diets or quick fixes here. Instead, patients receive ongoing guidance to develop realistic habits, stabilize energy levels and restore metabolic function. This approach is particularly supportive for individuals navigating conditions like prediabetes, PCOS, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and more.     

“By addressing root causes early, we aim to prevent disease progression and empower patients to regain control of their health,” shares Dr. Dockery.
