Dr. Savastio has been involved in the health profession for more than two decades, first as an exercise physiologist, before attending medical school.
He considers himself a “hands-on doctor,” for his frequent use of acupuncture, spinal manipulation, Craniosacral therapy and panchakarrna treatments to help patients heal. He has studied independently with some of the best practitioners to bring these skill sets, beyond his thorough training in Ayurvedic and Chinese therapies, to Elemental Medicine.
As an athlete, he is also drawn to evaluating and treating injuries to the muscles, joints, tendons, and other body parts.
His passion is developing constitutional medicine based on a patient’s individual body type, and works best with those who take responsibility for their own health.

“During my journey with cancer, Dr. Savastio became my go-to-guy. Eight years later, he still that for me. His ability to help me understand what my doctors were telling me was nothing less than brilliant. The guidance I received about the power of complementary treatments is the single reason I feel I am thriving and not just surviving.”
-Denise DeSimone, author of From Stage IV to Center Stage, Newburyport, MA
