Get to know Family Physician Dr. Janine Talty, who serves patients in Roanoke, Virginia and nation-wide.

An excellent board certified family physician with certification in Osteopathic Manual Medicine and Orthopedic Medicine.   Dr. Talty sees patients at her private practice in Roanoke, Virginia. She has an extraordinary ability to listen, to hear and to understand the patients who come seeking relief from chronic illness and pain.

Pertaining to her educational pursuits, she graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree in Sports Medicine from San Jose State University, her Master of Public Health degree from University of Illinois at Chicago, School of Public Health. She earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Des Moine University.  She completed her one-year internship and three-year combined residency in family medicine, and fellowship in Clinical Biomechanics/OMM at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Passionate about her profession, the doctor is board-certified in family medicine by the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians (AOBFP). The AOBFP is an organization that provides board certification to qualified osteopathic physicians who specialize in delivering comprehensive primary care for patients of all ages, genders, and addressing all parts of the body.

Among her other roles, she serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and is the past Medical Director of the Wellness & Rehabilitation Center in Watsonville, California.

Dr. Talty has subspecialized far beyond general Family medicine.  She often states that she is suffering from a terminal disease called “malignant curiosity.”  This has led her to keep asking “why?”  Why is this patient still ill or in pain and takes on the challenge to figure out the underlying causes of their ongoing dysfunction.  This has led her from solving complex orthopedic pain conditions to diagnosing and treating often their underlying root cause being Lyme disease and mold Illness. She incorporates various modalities to help the body restore its ability to heal itself and regain homeostasis by balancing the mechanics of the physical motor system with Osteopathic Manual Medicine, sometimes using prolotherapy to stabilize joints and soft tissues, restoring bio-identical hormone balance, effective medical weight-loss, exercise prescription, and nutritional counseling. 

She threatens to put a sign above her clinic entry door that reads “Hogwarts.”  By the time most patients get to her they have exhausted traditional medical options without a working diagnosis. She spends the time with discerning skill of questioning and examination along with laboratory evaluation to zero in on the underlying cause.
