Craig Maples is an Osteopathic Physician who is board-certified in hands-on care known as Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine. He obtained his medical degree from Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth, Texas, where he received honors in Osteopathic Principles and Practices and awards for his commitment to Osteopathic Medicine. After medical school, he completed residency training in Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine at Mountainview Regional Medical Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where he was Chief Resident. His training focused on hands-on Osteopathic Manipulation and ultrasound-guided procedures.
Additionally, Dr. Maples has sought out continuing medical education in Biodynamics, Fascial Distortion Model, Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, Viscerosomatic Release, Ligamentous Articular Strain, Arterial treatments, and Osteopathic treatment of mood and anxiety disorders.
Dr. Maples received his bachelor’s degree in Humanities, with a minor in Biblical studies, from BIOLA University in California in 2008. He met his wife, Megan, while attending. After college, he worked as an EMT in Southern California. They moved to Texas in 2010, where he became a lead Paramedic at MedStar, covering Fort Worth. This experience led him to go to medical school.
On a medical mission trip to Honduras during med-school, Dr. Maples was able to use the hands-on Osteopathic Manipulation he had learned in class to help several people in a unique and lasting way. Also during medical school, Dr. Maples was able to use what he had learned to resolve Megan’s back pain she had for years which was unsuccessfully treated in many other ways. These experiences led him to pursue Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine as a specialty, with a particular passion for helping hurt people who felt forgotten by medicine, friends, and family.
The Maples have 4 boys, the 4th of which was born during medical school. As a family, they like to visit National Parks, camp, and hike. The boys also make sure to get in several wrestling matches with dad every week and seem to have no regard for furniture, décor, walls, or anything else that can, and will, be broken.
