Specialties
Dr. Higginbotham is a preventative medicine, general practice, and osteopathic manipulative medicine. His primary specialty is preventative medicine.
Preventative Medicine
Preventive healthcare, or prophylaxis, consists of measures taken for disease prevention. Disease and disability are affected by environmental factors, genetic predisposition, disease agents, and lifestyle choices, and are dynamic processes which begin before individuals realize they are affected.
Secondary specialties
General Practice
A general practitioner manages types of illness that present in an undifferentiated way at an early stage of development, which may require urgent intervention. The holistic approach of general practice aims to take into consideration the biological, psychological, and social factors relevant to the care of each patient's illness. Their duties are not confined to specific organs of the body, and they have particular skills in treating people with multiple health issues. A core element in general practice is continuity that bridges episodes of various illnesses. Greater continuity with a general practitioner has been shown to reduce the need for out-of-hours services and acute hospital admittance.
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine
Osteopathy is a type of alternative medicine that emphasizes physical manipulation of the body's muscle tissue and bones.
