Dr. Altman shares his own story that started his path towards becoming a doctor treating pain patients.

Dr. Sean Altman is a Functional Medicine Doctor with expertise in Energy Medicine, bioelectric signaling, and regenerative orthopedics, whose work focuses on identifying the root cause of injury and restoring the body’s internal communication networks so healing can resume naturally and durably.

With an academic foundation in Molecular Biology from Colgate University and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Stony Brook University, Dr. Altman’s training reflects a rare integration of cellular biology, biomechanics, and clinical medicine. Graduating Summa Cum Laude, he established early on a commitment to scientific rigor, clinical excellence, and innovation in patient care.

​As a Functional Medicine Doctor, Dr. Altman focuses on identifying and correcting the root biological drivers of pain, injury, and dysfunction rather than simply suppressing symptoms. His approach blends root-cause diagnostics with advanced bioelectric and regenerative therapies to restore communication within the nervous system, tissues, and cellular networks. Each patient receives extended, in-depth evaluations and a highly personalized plan designed to activate the body’s own healing capacity and promote durable recovery.

​With over 15 years of clinical experience, Dr. Altman has treated a wide spectrum of complex and chronic conditions, including Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, migraines, autoimmune disorders, orthopedic and spine injuries, chronic pain syndromes, neurologic conditions, prenatal and post-partum conditions, and high-level athletic injuries. His advanced training in regenerative and neuromodulatory technologies — including shockwave therapy, Frequency-Specific Microcurrent, ultrasound-guided interventions, and bioelectric therapeutics — allows him to treat conditions that often fail conventional care.

​Dr. Altman’s work has been featured in CBS and PBS documentaries highlighting integrated medical models at Integrated Pain Solutions in Greenwich, Connecticut, where he collaborated closely with specialists in physiatry, regenerative medicine, physical therapy, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation. This experience shaped his belief that durable healing requires a multidisciplinary, systems-based approach that addresses structure, biology, nervous system regulation, and energy simultaneously.
