We sit down with Dr. Phillip Snider, an Osteopathic Physician in Auburn, to talk about treating head and neck pain and why whole-body structure can change how you feel day to day. We also dig into his work with vocal performance and the mindset that helped him pivot from nutrition to medicine and build a life that keeps evolving. 
• his work at Auburn Pediatric and Adult Medicine and the conditions he focuses on, including headaches and TMJ.
• how he moved from dietitian and personal trainer to osteopathic medicine after discovering the DO approach 
• what Osteopathic medicine is and how it differs in training emphasis while using the same modern medical tools 
• the Tensegrity Model, fascia tension, and why posture can affect pain and vocal function 
• vocal cord nodules as “calluses,” plus hands-on techniques that can reduce strain for singers 
• his journey into the local music scene, open mics, songwriting, and the “never too late” message 
• career pivots, clinical informatics, teaching, and simplifying complex ideas for patients and students 
• dry needling, osteopathic manipulation, nerve blocks, and a lifestyle-first approach to obesity medicine
