About

Celysse M. van Zyl received her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg, WV. Dr. van Zyl completed her intern year of residency down at St. Petersburg General Hospital in Florida; before returning to West Virginia to finish her residency training in Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine.

Dr. van Zyl has been trained to address concerns of patients from all walks of life; including newborns experiencing feeding/latching difficulties, back pain concerns in pregnancy, and elderly patients suffering from chronic arthritis.

Personal Statement

While in her clinical training, Dr. van Zyl witnessed firsthand the impact and devastation of the opioid crises in the communities she served. As a result of this exposure, she decided to seek training that would allow her to provide a non-opiate based practice for her patients.

Dr. van Zyl’s clinic focuses on conservative measures to address a wide range of musculoskeletal patient concerns, utilizing Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) as her main modality. OMT is a hands-on, manual technique employed by Osteopathic Physicians that is used to ease pain and increase overall mobility, while promoting the body’s natural healing processes.

  *Dr. Van Zyl is always SO pleasant, so helpful in examining me, explaining what the problem is, showing me X-rays and other imaging and working with ME to decide, recommend treatment options and for doing referrals to help my situation.

  I did find it perplexing that a pain management Provider did not actually do an exam. Only discussion. It was a bit frustrating that my range of motion, ability to do or not to do something was not measured in any way. I left thinking that my level of pain was not well understood.

  Even though I'm still in pain she came up with another plan to help me.

  Dr.Vqn Zyl is a great doctor as seen in the above ratings. I had not worked with this kind of medicine before I started (probably two years ago). She is always prepared for my visit by reviewing my chart prior to starting my treatment. I share my concerns and she gives me her feedback in a way I could understand. She answers all my questions. I am never in pain during my treatment session.

  I felt like she understood my body better than me. She went straight to areas on my body that were tender and manipulated them. She was very gentle but thorough. I can't wait to go back. Healing hands are important to me. I haven't had this type of therapy for over 20 years. Another Doctor was the last Dr to perform this on me I'm the 90s.
