Douglas Burr has been working in the health
care industry for more than 20 years. As a respiratory therapist,
primarily in pediatrics and neonatal intensive care, Doug
has seen ample evidence of the need for a more holistic
approach to health care. "Technical advances in western
medicine have come along way the long way," he says,
"but I was frustrated with our inability to actually
restore children and adults to health. Over and over I saw
cases that could have been prevented with a simpler approach.
By the time they got into the ICU, these kids were on a
difficult path to recovery."
His interest in avoiding invasive and costly
procedures led him to pursue graduate work in Oriental Medicine
at San Diego's Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, where
he graduated with honors. Now he employs a combination of
eastern and western medicine in his approach to health care
and pediatrics. He is one of a handful of practitioners
nationally to pursue training in pediatrics, with several
years assisting one of the most well-known pediatric acupuncturists
in the country.
While having a mixed practice of both children
and adults, Doug admits to being passionate about children's
health issues, partly because he is a father himself. "So
many childhood conditions are well treated in Oriental medicine,"
he says. "ADD/ADHD, behavioral problems, asthmas, allergies
- they respond so well." He prefers a more conservative
approach to health care - begin simply with changes to diet,
nutrition, and acupuncture. "Drugs and drug therapy
can be an incredibly important part of treatment, but should
be used cautiously, and added only if other means have not
been effective."
Sports medicine has been a natural addition
to his practice since he is an avid sports enthusiast -
mountain biking, snow boarding, surfing and horseback riding
are all part of the picture. "Play and physical exercise
are important, and I have been injured so many times! I
like to help those weekend warriors recover as quickly as
possible, and then work with them to use regular bodywork
and nutrition to prevent further injury."
Doug sees patients in his private practice
while continuing his work in respiratory therapy at Balboa
Hospital, and continues to refine his skills in pain management
and Japanese acupuncture by studying with such teachers
as Dr. Richard Tan and Ikeda Sensei from Japan. He helps
teach medical students and residents from UCSD about Oriental
medicine, and hopes one day to be able to work in fully
integrative medical facility. "Our medical system has
to change. Too many people are living with chronic conditions
and too much medication." He believes that the time
is fast approaching when integrative medicine will become
standard in our teaching hospitals and clinics.
