Local Doctor Blazes A New Trail in Sports and Lifestyle Medicine
In the heart of Tyler, Texas, a unique medical practice is redefining healthcare for athletes and active individuals. Trailhead Sports and Lifestyle Medicine, founded by Dr. Becky Peebles, offers a holistic approach to wellness that goes beyond traditional medical care, focusing on prevention, personalized attention, and empowering patients to take control of their health.
Dr. Peebles, who grew up in El Paso, brings a wealth of experience to her practice. After serving as an active duty Air Force physician for eight years, she and her husband, JT Peebles, decided to put down roots in Tyler about four and a half years ago. The move was motivated by a desire to be closer to family, as JT is a Tyler native. Their decision to settle in Tyler has allowed Dr. Peebles to combine her professional expertise with her passion for community-focused healthcare.
The journey to establishing Trailhead Sports and Lifestyle Medicine has been one of dedication and passion. Dr. Peebles' background as both a physician and an active runner herself, gives her a unique perspective on the needs of her patients. This understanding is evident in the comprehensive services offered at the practice. Her firsthand experience as an athlete allows her to connect deeply with her patients, understanding their challenges and goals in a way that few other physicians can.
Trailhead Med, as it's affectionately known, provides a wide range of services including non-operative orthopedic care, sports medicine, comprehensive care for acute and chronic medical conditions, osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), acupuncture, and more. What sets the practice apart is its commitment to accessible, affordable healthcare with a focus on personalized attention. Dr. Peebles and her team prioritize building strong relationships with their patients, ensuring that each individual feels heard and supported throughout their healthcare journey.
Dr. Peebles' approach is to dedicate herself to each patient. As Renee H., a grateful parent, attests, "Dr. Peebles is thorough, caring and quick to respond. She took extra time to help our daughter understand her body." This level of care has made a significant impact on young athletes in the community.
The practice's philosophy centers on exploring the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. Dr. Peebles guides patients on their journey to find healthcare solutions that work for them, emphasizing prevention and long-term wellness. Her approach empowers patients to make informed decisions about their health, fostering a sense of ownership and confidence in their ability to maintain an active lifestyle.
This approach has garnered praise from patients of all ages. From Robert, an 89-year-old runner to Alec, a 30-year old first time mom, Dr. Peebles has a unique understanding of active clients of all ages and activity levels. The diversity of her patient base highlights the universal appeal of her methods, which cater to individuals at every stage of life and activity level.
Trailhead Sports and Lifestyle Medicine is not just about treating injuries; it's about empowering patients to take control of their health. The practice offers a membership model, allowing patients direct access to their healthcare team. This innovative approach ensures that patients receive consistent, personalized care without the barriers often associated with traditional healthcare systems.
Dr. Peebles' commitment to the community extends beyond her practice. As a mother of four, (Ellie- age 9, Josiah- age 7, Emma- age 5, and Millie- age 7 months) she understands the importance family and community support play in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Her ability to balance her roles as a physician, mother, and community advocate serves as an inspiration to those around her. Above all, Dr. Peebles strives to bring glory to the Lord in all she does.
As Trailhead Sports and Lifestyle Medicine continues to grow, Dr. Peebles remains dedicated to her mission of providing comprehensive, personalized care. Her practice stands and is blazing a trail towards a healthier, more active community in Tyler and beyond.
