🖤 Grief Awareness Day | August 30th 🖤
Grief is more than just an emotional experience — it can impact our minds, our bodies, and even our hearts.
A real condition called Broken Heart Syndrome (also known as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy) can occur after intense emotional loss — like the death of a loved one — and mimics the symptoms of a heart attack. 💔
While it's often temporary, it’s a powerful reminder that grief isn't “just in our heads.”
Today, on National Grief Awareness Day, we honor those who are grieving — whether their loss is fresh or decades old. Your grief is real. Your pain is valid. And you are not alone.
Let’s break the silence around grief. 💬
Let’s support each other with compassion. 🤝
Let’s remember that healing doesn’t mean forgetting. 🌿
Broken Heart Syndrome is a cardiac condition triggered by extreme stress or anxiety from a traumatic event with symptoms similar to a heart attack.

🩺There are CAT scans. There are PET scans. 🩻
But Sonny’s still wondering… where are the DOG scans? 🐶
At least he’s got an important job—reviewing scans to make sure they’re paws-itively perfect. (Though, between us, he usually just decides they need more pets. 😉)
Happy from Sonny and all of us at the Kaplan Center! 🐾❤️

At the Kaplan Center, we use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help patients move past chronic stress and trauma that keeps the body stuck in survival mode—especially when physical healing stalls.
EMDR helps the brain reprocess stuck memories so your nervous system can reset.
If you’ve done all the right things and still don’t feel well, this could be your next step.

Be cared for by an unequaled group of board-certified physicians and specialists.
When your health problems are complex, it can be difficult and frustrating to find answers. Your primary care physician may be treating your symptoms without understanding the root of your illness or pain. At the Kaplan Center you will find a highly dedicated and skilled team of medical professionals working towards one common goal: returning you to optimal health and keeping you there. Our uniquely integrative, non-surgical treatment approach is highly successfully treating chronic pain and illness. For more than 30 years, we have delivered superior, cutting-edge health care in the Washington, DC area.
Dr. Gary Kaplan, our Medical Director and founder, is one of only 19 physicians in the country who is board-certified in both family medicine and pain medicine. Our multidisciplinary medical team includes: board-certified physicians skilled in osteopathic manipulative treatment, medical acupuncture, prolotherapy, and PRP; as well as licensed physical therapists, a psychotherapist, a nutritionist and a meditation counselor.
The first step in healing a patient is hearing a patient.
Our patients tell us that we are different from other medical groups they have visited. We offer patients our full and undivided attention with extended appointments and unrushed care. We take the time to listen to and understand a patient’s medical history so we can pinpoint the issues they are experiencing and understand the symptoms, onset of the condition and nature of the pain or illness to determine therapies that will work best.
We work as a highly coordinated, tightly integrated healthcare team. On a regular basis, your case is jointly reviewed by all of the Kaplan Center’s providers you see to ensure that your care is carefully coordinated. This approach allows for the full range of our team’s medical expertise to be accessed in diagnosing and discussing treatment options for most cases we see. The results are seen in more accurate diagnoses, individualized, comprehensive treatment plans, and continual monitoring to evaluate your progress.
A philosophy built on thinking beyond the prescription pad.
Resolving chronic conditions requires a multidimensional approach. By incorporating the best elements of both conventional and alternative medicine, our goal is always to address not only a patient’s physical symptoms, but also to treat the root causes of an individual’s pain and illness, including problems of the mind and spirit that may be contributing to the disease process.
Depending upon your needs, your treatment plan may involve supplemental care such as physical therapy, psychotherapy, nutritional counseling or yoga and meditation instruction. We will remain at the forefront of new and emerging treatment options, exploring every avenue and thinking beyond just prescription meds, in order to meet all your recovery goals.
