People sometimes confuse Paul Langevin for a chiropractor or massage therapist. He is neither.

His Jackson Hole Osteopathy practice focuses on Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine — manual techniques to establish more normal movement for people suffering from musculoskeletal pain. This can include back and neck pain, arthritis and degenerative issues, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, headaches, arthritis, sports injuries, TMJ and other acute and chronic health issues. OMM also is good for ear, nose and throat conditions such as ear and sinus infections, vertigo, tinnitus and eustachian tube dysfunction. It can help newborns with colic, reflux and ear infections. Langevin also treats people suffering from concussions, traumatic brain injury and carpel tunnel syndrome.

“I’m a physician who does manual medicine. Basically, that is removing restrictions in the body to allow it to heal itself and function like it should,” Langevin said. “It does not replace modern medicine, it augments it.

Jackson Hole Osteopathy opened last November. The clinic treats people from birth to old age, helping people regain strength and lessen pain.

Langevin worked in multiple emergency depart- ments in eastern Wyoming and recently retired from the U.S. Navy. His clinic works with patients from the valley area. In addition to his Jackson office, he also works out of Afton.

He starts with a full evaluation of a patient’s body “from their feet to their head,” he said. “I palpate and move every joint and make sure everything is moving appropriately. I mainly work on soft tissue called fascia.”

If a patient complains of knee pain, Langevin will look at the body as whole, correcting any restrictions that are contributing to the pain and dysfunction of the knee. “The treatments are very lasting,” he said. “It’s not something that has to be done constantly.” This type of medicine is what osteopaths originally practiced when it was established in the late 1800s.

Much of health care is now focused on prescribing medication, Langevin said. But osteopathic manipulative medicine is part of modern medical school training. It’s especially good for athletes, he said, and Jackson has plenty of those.

Patients typically are people who have already seen their regular doctor, a specialist or even a surgeon and need a different perspective to achieve their health and lifestyle goals, he said.

The fastest-growing real estate brokerage in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and its surrounding areas is also part of the largest brokerage house in the world.

Keller Williams, in less than a year, has taken its “People-First” value system and, with the foundation of the Keller Williams brand worldwide, has built an agency of over 50 brokers.

“We get kind of the best of both worlds of being locally owned and making decisions locally, yet we're tied to the biggest single real estate company, single brand in the world as well,” said Tyler Davis, associate broker.

For Davis, his local team creates the empathy clients need for home buying and selling, because at the end of the day every one of Davis’ agents is also living in the area and raising their families. This gives them a unique insight into the market and their client base.

“I think that helps with clients, that we are so locally driven,” he said. Being locally owned, rather than owned by part-time residents or a public company, also makes Keller Williams appealing.

The momentum behind Keller Williams will expand to several new storefronts this season. New offices will be opening in Driggs, Thayne, Star Valley, the Pink Garter Square, Pearl Street and on the Town Square at their new partner’s office, Akin and Hedges.

In the short 11 months since the team formed locally, Davis is not surprised at all by the fast clip at which it is moving. The business is constantly expanding its client base.

“We're the fastest growing for a reason,” he said. “We have a lot of great people, a great culture, a great financial model, and we have grown to No. 3 in size in the area in less than a year.”

Keller Williams tailors its communication to its clients' personal needs, trying to make sure the process stays intuitive versus overwhelming, whether the client is the buyer or the seller.

In a complicated real estate market like Jackson and the surrounding areas, the Keller Williams team does their best in earnest to make sure that each of their clients not only finds the home best suited to their individual and family needs but also feels at ease through the process from start to finish when buying or selling their homes.
