Dr. Messerli has expertise in the non-surgical management of spine, musculoskeletal and sports medicine conditions. He practiced in Seattle for 15 years before moving his practice to Durango in 2023. His Fellowship/Subspecialty training was precepted by two of the most esteemed experts in the field of Interventional Spine and two of the region’s pioneers in MSK Ultrasound.
Dr. Messerli chose an Osteopathic medical school to obtain a holistic view of injury and disease, and the effectiveness of individualized whole-person treatment to optimize our body’s intrinsic ability to heal itself.
