Ekaphol Wooden, DO

Ekaphol "Hank" Wooden, DO, is a board-certified family medicine physician with HonorHealth Primary Care specializing in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) with a focus on musculoskeletal care. He offers specialized treatment through the Fascial Distortion Model (FDM), an osteopathic approach effective for addressing a wide range of conditions. His clinical interests center on musculoskeletal management through osteopathic approaches.

Dr. Wooden uses FDM to treat not only musculoskeletal complaints but also fibromyalgia, headaches and chronic pain throughout the body, as virtually the entire body can be treated with FDM since fascial injuries can occur anywhere. He finds this approach particularly valuable for patients interested in reducing their pain medication use and for addressing unresolved surgical pain or chronic pain with unclear causes that have been thoroughly evaluated by other providers and specialists, as the source of pain could be fascia-related. He also offers specialized support for pregnancy-related discomfort, providing gentle treatments to help expectant mothers manage lower back and hip pain.

Dr. Wooden takes a preventive approach to patient care, emphasizing lifestyle improvements as a foundation for health. He focuses on educating patients about exercise and weight management strategies to minimize or eliminate the need for medications when possible, and he uses FDM as an effective alternative for osteoarthritis to help patients avoid the need for joint replacement surgery. His practice emphasizes whole-person wellness through evidence-based lifestyle interventions.

He was born in Thailand and raised in Rock Springs, Wyoming, which he considers his hometown. He enjoys fishing in his free time and brings a well-rounded perspective to his family medicine practice.
