For Dr. Ben Seeman, medicine isn’t just a profession—it’s part of his DNA. The son of two physicians, he first witnessed the power of care and calm under pressure when, as a child, he watched his parents rush to help a teenager injured in a motorcycle accident.

Years later, between college and medical school, Ben faced his own turning point after a serious car accident left him with relentless back and shoulder pain. Conventional treatments provided little relief, until his father referred him to an osteopathic physical therapist. With manual therapy and a tailored stretching program, Ben’s pain was gone within two weeks. Experiencing firsthand how osteopathic techniques could transform recovery convinced him there was a better way to treat patients.

That discovery set his career in motion. After graduating from the University of Georgia in 1997, Ben earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Des Moines University. He completed his residency in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Virginia Commonwealth University/Medical College of Virginia, followed by a competitive fellowship in Interventional Pain Management. In 2008, he opened his own practice to pursue his vision of integrative pain care—blending traditional medicine with advanced therapies to address the root causes of pain.

Today, Dr. Seeman is double board-certified in Pain Medicine and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. He is an active member of leading professional societies and has been named a Top Doctor for Pain Management by Richmond Magazine nearly every year since starting practice. With a career built on personal experience, rigorous training, and a passion for helping others heal, Dr. Seeman continues to redefine what’s possible in pain and recovery care.
