David Redding, DO

Dr. Redding has a wide range of research interests. He has explored the positive effects of daily nut consumption on lipid markers, demonstrating marked improvements in cardiac health. Additionally, his research comparing different exercise types found that both cardiovascular and proprioceptive exercise improved sleep quality.  Dr. Redding also investigated herniated lumbar disc reduction using OMT and the Fulford Hammer, highlighting the potential for a non-invasive treatment of bulging discs with associated lower extremity symptoms. Dr. Redding participated in "The Healthcare Cure," which received the Audience Choice Award for "Most Impactful Film" at the Sedona International Film Festival. 

His studies have included assessing the impact of peanut oil on joint pain and stiffness of arthritic joints, indicating a significant reduction in symptoms when massaged into joints daily. His contributions extend to dermatological issues, in which he studied a combination of baking soda and castor oil to successfully treat benign skin lesions. In collaboration with the School of Optometry, Dr. Redding investigated vision correction through OMT, noting improvements in the OMT group, but full statistical analysis has yet to be completed. 

Dr. Redding's interest in interprofessional research extends to his work in which he conducted a survey assessment analyzing an interprofessional education (IPE) program through the lens of the osteopathic tenets. This approach proved to be successful with students from different colleges showing a better appreciation of collaborative healthcare and recognition of the fact that their profession impacts the work of the other students' professions. Dr. Redding has also conducted a study comparing the accuracy of Anterior Superior Iliac Spine (ASIS) level assessments among faculty, fellows, and students.
