Dr. James Altizer was born to practice medicine. From the time he was a child he knew he would never do anything else. Graduating from Davidson College and entering the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond in 1981 was the beginning of a dream come true. After Richmond he traveled to Augusta, GA to complete a 3 year internship and residency in Internal Medicine. To pay back his naval scholarship to medical school, Dr. Altizer entered the US Navy and worked as an Internist at the Navy hospital in Beaufort, SC and as teaching faculty at Balboa Naval Hospital in San Diego, CA. He also served in the first Gulf War during Desert Storm and received a total of 5 decorations prior to leaving the US Navy in 1992. He practiced Internal Medicine for 7 more years where his special interest was asthma. He then took up the new field of Phlebology (vein disease) in 1999. He has been in Charlotte since 2001 and worked at the Vein Center of Charlotte for 15 years. He is board certified both in Internal Medicine and Phlebology and is a Fellow of the American College of Phlebology. He is also doubly credentialed in vascular ultrasound. Dr. Altizer rides his two Harley Davidson motorcycles when weather permits and also enjoys target shooting and collecting antique medical and surgical instruments. He has a son and daughter who both graduated from college in 2010. Dr. Altizer formed Dynamic Health and Pain Management in 2011. Being skilled at surgical and injection techniques from his work with vein disease, performing injections for joint pain and trigger points was a natural fit.
“I am excited about the quality of care that we are able to deliver to our patients. The results that I have seen have been truly amazing. It is quite gratifying to me to see the smiles on patients faces when they finally get relief from the pain that prevented them from enjoying life. I am very proud of my team members here, and they are all dedicated to making each and every patient feel special. I can honestly say that there is no other facility like ours in the Charlotte area and probably the entire southeast. We exemplify excellence.”
Growing up, Peter Cox wanted to be either a minister or a detective. He ended up a chiropractor, which he says combines the sensitivity of a pastor with the analytical approach of an investigator. Dr. Peter Cox’s unusual background and skills have drawn national attention from Psychology Today, Chiropractic Economics, The Charlotte Observer, and other publications. He has written for The Charlotte Business Journal. Cox was a National-Champion fencer at Penn State University and a four-time All-American when he injured himself while training for the U.S. Olympic Team. Though physical therapy helped, he later re-injured his back and sought help from a Chiropractor. That relationship inspired him to enroll in Chiropractic College in 1992. Within four years, Cox became the nations #1 ranked sabre fencer and earned the top spot on the U.S. Olympic Team in 1996. That same year he graduated as a Doctor of Chiropractic from Cleveland Chiropractic College, in Kansas City, MO. Cox opened the Chiropractic Care Center in 1997. It grew to be a multi-disciplinary office offering chiropractic and physical therapy. His expertise was sought after in 2001 by the PGA Tour and Champions Tour. For three years, he was one of only a handful of chiropractors who treated the country’s top golfers. Today, Cox has focused his expertise on a multidisciplinary medical office. Ive always seen myself as a strong team leader, he says. My nickname when I was in college was The Catalyst. I love to motivate patients, staff, and myself. I am very fortunate to be able to work with Dr. Altizer providing this unique care to the Charlotte Community. Cox is motivated by a quote from Thomas Edison: “The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”
Those are words Cox lives by and wishes to share with all who are motivated for a healthier life. Cox is married to Heidi and is the proud father of Brianna and Andre. In his free time, he gives lessons at local fencing clubs, enjoys tennis, sailing, and cars.
Patient Testimonials
“I was recently diagnosed with diverticulitis and was having excruciating back pain. This intense pain lasted for over week and was causing me to be unable to eat and sleep. Walking was painful, and I was unable to get comfortable in any position. My daughter is patient at Dynamic Health and Pain Management and recommended that I come in and have them take a look at my back pain to see if they could help. DH&PM did a full exam, took x-rays and quickly found the issue. I decided to start treatment and after 1 full week of therapy I started to get major relief. I completed the treatment protocol and I am 100% pain free and loving life! I am now able to drive myself around again and take my wife out on dates! I’m sleeping and eating better.”
“I was at work one day lifting a heavy object and hurt my shoulder. I had severe shoulder pain and was unable to lift my arm. The pain caused me to not be able to sleep at night and my range of motion was severely diminished. Everyday tasks like washing and combing my hair were extremely hard to accomplish. I suffered with the pain for over a year and half, even trying cortisone shots and physical therapy at another facility. The relief from the shots and therapy was always temporary. One day I was watching Charlotte Today and saw Dr. Altizer talking about Dynamic Health and Pain Management. I quickly made an appointment. At my appointment I learned that my neck was out of alignment and it was putting pressure on my nerves causing my shoulder pain!”
“I immediately started treatment and it was nothing like I had ever seen or experienced. I felt immediate relief with the trigger point injections and I was able to leave therapy without being in more pain. I was not able to drive comfortably after treatments at the previous facility. I am now able to relax and sleep at night and things like washing and combing my hair are so much easier after my treatments. If you haven’t tried Dynamic Health and Pain Management you have nothing to lose and your health to gain!”
“While training for the Strongman Competitions my lower back suffered a painful injury. I experienced excruciating pain in my lower back, a sharp stabbing pain in my right buttock and numbness in my left leg. I was unable to lift weights or do any type of housework or yardwork. It was even painful to drive and sit down! For over a year I lived with this pain, self medicating with ice, electro therapy and medications. These solutions only masked the pain but never got rid of the pain. One day during a google search, I found Dynamic Health and Pain Management. Their reviews were excellent so I decided to send them an email. I went in for my appointment and DH&PM discovered I had a shortened pedicle and my L5 disc was rubbing on my sacrum. I decided to start treatment right away. The care at DH&PM is phenomenal. From beginning to end the techniques and skill from everyone has helped me recover and keep the pain away. After just a few visits I was already able to feel relief. I am now able to perform daily duties and things I enjoyed before hurting my back!”
“The kindness and interactions with the staff is by far the best I have ever received in a medical environment. They make me want to come in for treatment. The speed and promptness is unmatched. Its always a good day for me after treatment. My satisfaction rate is a 10 out of 10!”
“I first found out I had diabetes over 5 years ago during a check up with my doctor. I was thirsty all the time, I got light headed and would have blood sugar spikes throughout the day and overall felt tired and miserable. My doctor placed me on medication to help regulate my blood sugar. I also had to start checking my sugar regularly, which meant poking my finger several times a day and making sure I was tracking everything and eating the right foods at the right times. I really missed having energy to do more activities, not having to poke my finger several times a day and being able to eat certain foods that I loved. I treated at Dynamic Health and Pain Management previously for a low back issue and during one of my maintenance visits I saw some information about the Diabetes Reversal program. I quickly made an appointment to see if was for me. I met with Dr. Cox and was amazed that there was another way to treat diabetes and even reverse it! I quickly joined the program and within 7 days I experienced a change in my energy level. I was able to do more than one activity in a day! “
“The care I received at Dynamic Health has been wonderful, the treatments are excellent, the facility is beautiful and all the staff have been very helpful. The whole process has been very informative and I feel like I’m included in all aspects of my care. I would recommend anyone with Diabetes to give Dynamic Health a try!”
“I am an active person and love to do things outdoors. I also run a non-profit organization that I am very passionate about and it requires me to maintain a high level of energy and mobility. That’s why staying active and fit is important to me and I have always tried to take good care of my body. One day I was doing a stretch that I had done a million times before. I bent down deep into the stretch and got stuck! I couldn’t get back up. My spine was just frozen in place. Luckily my family was there and called Dynamic Health & Pain Management right away. They were able to get me in that same day to be seen. I found out that I had aggravated an old spinal injury from 20 years ago that had gotten steadily worse until everything just seized up. I knew I should have come in earlier but had been putting it off and now I was paying the price. I couldn’t get out of bed much less do any-thing I needed to do like work, drive, shop or chores around the house. The doctors put me on a treatment plan that was tailored to my unique condition and I was extremely happy with the results. After just 2 months I went from being totally bedridden back to my normal daily activities. I can get in and out of bed, swim, walk, shop and travel for my work. I am so happy! Whether you have minor nagging pains or major debilitating ones you owe it to yourself to get help. Don’t ignore the pain until it becomes a larger problem. Go to Dynamic Health & Pain Management to see if they can help!”
