When patients ask about Dr. Kotulski’s background, one of the things that makes his training unique is his completion of a Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine fellowship. This advanced fellowship provides specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating conditions involving the nervous system, muscles, joints, spine, and movement patterns of the body. Through this training, Dr. Kotulski is able to evaluate and manage a wide range of conditions, including neck and back pain, joint pain, sports injuries, headaches, balance concerns, mobility limitations, and nerve-related symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness.

A fascinating fact about this specialty is that only approximately 1% of Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) have completed Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine fellowship training, making it one of the most specialized areas within osteopathic medicine. Dr. Kotulski was also among the first generation of osteopathic physicians to participate in this advanced fellowship training, in addition to being one of very first certified Functional Medicine Doctors in the country, helping pave the way for the integration of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine into modern patient care.

Dr. Kotulski’s fellowship training extends far beyond traditional musculoskeletal care. His advanced understanding of the relationship between the nervous system and movement allows him to provide valuable support for individuals living with complex neurological conditions, including ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. By focusing on mobility, function, balance, comfort, and overall quality of life, he works to help patients maintain independence and optimize their daily activities whenever possible.

At Between the Bridges Healing Centers, Dr. Kotulski combines his fellowship training with a comprehensive range of advanced treatment options designed to support the body’s natural healing processes. These services include Cranial Osteopathy and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), regenerative injection therapies such as Prolozone®, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), and Stem Cell treatments, as well as neural therapy and targeted nerve blocks. Depending on a patient’s individual needs, these treatments may be complemented by innovative wellness and rehabilitation technologies including EmVital®, EmSella®, EmSculpt NEO®, EmFace®, and ExoMind®, all of which are designed to enhance function, improve performance, support neurological health, and promote overall well-being.

In addition, Dr. Kotulski incorporates Functional Medicine principles to identify and address underlying factors that may be contributing to a patient’s symptoms. By evaluating lifestyle, nutrition, metabolic health, inflammation, and other root causes of disease, he develops personalized treatment plans that support long-term health and wellness rather than simply managing symptoms.

What truly sets Dr. Kotulski apart is the combination of his fellowship training, decades of clinical experience, and deep understanding of how the body’s systems work together. His approach emphasizes comprehensive evaluation, individualized treatment planning, and whole-person care, helping patients achieve improved function, reduced discomfort, enhanced vitality, and a better quality of life at every stage of health.
