Dr. Shahabi received her medical degree from Western University of Health Sciences-College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. During her medical school years, she was chosen as a Pre-Doctoral Teaching Fellow and completed her Masters of Science in Health Professions Education. Dr. Shahabi is Residency Trained and Dual Board Certified in Family Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, as well as Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (NMM/OMM). Dr. Shahabi is currently also an Adjunct Clinical Faculty member at various residency training programs and serves in medical director roles in Southern California.

Osteopathic Medicine is founded on the principle that the body’s structure and function have a dynamic relationship that plays into one’s state of health or disease. It emphasizes the importance of treating the whole person, encompassing mind, body and spirit. The Osteopathic physician draws on extensive knowledge of “living anatomy” and physiology during your examination and continually re-assesses that information while the treatment is taking place. The Osteopathic Physician understands the integral role the musculoskeletal system plays in their patient’s complete wellness. The musculoskeletal system provides a gateway to gather information from all other systems of the body, such as digestive, circulatory, respiratory, immune, and cardiovascular. Cranial Osteopathy specifically addresses the nervous system and its interplay with the rest of the systems in the body and is a subspecialty within Osteopathic Medicine, and physicians who integrate Cranial Osteopathy into their practice such as Dr. Shahabi, have had extensive additional education and training to be able to safely and effectively implement these valuable modalities.
