BUDDY TOUCHINSKY

Dr. Buddy Touchinsky, DC, CFMP, is a chiropractor and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner who founded Peak Integrative Medicine to create a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model that emphasizes personal relationships and comprehensive, root‑cause health care. He believes that patients should be known by name, not treated as a number, and that a single point of contact can coordinate chiropractic, functional medicine, health coaching, and preventive services. By offering transparent, membership‑based pricing, Dr. Touchinsky ensures that patients have unlimited access to care without the constraints of insurance billing, allowing him to spend ample time listening, educating, and tailoring treatment plans.

His clinical background began with a personal experience of relief from chronic ear blockage through chiropractic care, which sparked his lifelong commitment to hands‑on, non‑pharmaceutical therapies. After years of treating musculoskeletal injuries, he recognized that many health issues stem from diet, sleep, and lifestyle factors. This insight led him to become certified in functional medicine, integrating nutritional counseling, herbal therapy, and lifestyle coaching into his practice. Over 16 years, he has helped patients manage chronic conditions such as IBS, diabetes, hypertension, and musculoskeletal pain by addressing underlying causes rather than merely alleviating symptoms.

Beyond clinical work, Dr. Touchinsky is deeply involved in his community, serving on the Orwigsburg Lions Club, the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce, and former boards of the Schuylkill County Vision and Orwigsburg Borough Council. He also mentors other practitioners through a functional medicine business mentorship program, reflecting his commitment to expanding integrative, patient‑centered care beyond his own practice.
