Dr. Peter Lathrop is a Clinical Neurophysiologist who helps people suffering from acute and chronic pain and the related soft tissue and musculoskeletal injuries to gain lasting pain relief and accelerated healing of the injury.  It is this, the focus on the underlying cause - the injury, and healing the injury which is his passion and purpose in all his endeavors.

Throughout his career and prior to joining the Dynamic Health Institute Dr. Lathrop spent over 15 years in clinical practice in San Diego with Industrial Medical Centers (now US Healthworks), Don Perry & Co - Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Centers, Blott Chiropractic, Harbor View Medical Center and Paradise Valley Hospital to name a few. 

Dr. Lathrop specializes in the use of therapeutic microcurrent bioelectric signaling devices (they have names like the My-o-matic, Acuscope, Myopulse, Alpha-Stim) as well as SCENAR technology to generate healing.  He has co-developed several of these devices for manufacturers, which are in wide use today.  He has also received patents for his work in device design for treatment of injuries, viruses, and neurological disorders.

He is known for achieving excellent results in patients acute (recent) soft tissue injuries (muscle, ligament, tendon, capsular structures, and/or cartilaginous structures).  In addition, he has excellent results with those who do not respond well to conventional physical therapy and other therapeutic regimens, those that plateau on pharmacologic (drugs) and standard physical therapy regimens and have become "chronic".

Here is what a few of his patients have had to say:

• I am presently being treated by Dr. Lathrop for a work-related injury.  I can tell you that Dr. Lathrop’s treatment thus far has given me more relief from pain than from any other medical treatment I have received since being injured.  A.D. - San Diego
• You truly have given me "back" my life with less and less pain each day.  For this I will be indebted to you.  Words can’t thank you enough!  L.B. - San Diego

Here is what a few past referring physicians have had to say:

• …since Peter Lathrop, Ph.D. has been offering therapy at the San Diego office…Ihave had well over 30 referrals to him.  All of these patients did not respond well to conventional physical therapy offered here in our facility.  Despite the fact that these patients did not respond well to conventional physical therapy Dr. Lathrop has had excellent results with the vast majority of these referrals.  It is my opinion that Peter is an excellent addition to our medical services…   M.S. - San Diego
• I wish to give my unqualified support for Peter Lathrop, Ph.D.  I have been working with him closely.  He has been very effective in treating varied soft tissue and musculoskeletal injuries which were unresponsive to the usual modalities.  His addition to the staff has given us another dimension of patient care which has been very efficacious in difficult cases, shortening recovery times in almost every instance.  J.C.  M.D. - San Diego

Besides his work in pain treatment and soft tissue injury medicine Dr. Lathrop is known for his work in electronic rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries including quadriplegia and paraplegia.
