We have the honor and privilege to introduce you to Dr. Keith Ungar, DC, a leading and knowledgeable medical professional and owner of INTEGRATED MEDICINE OF OHIO. Dr. Ungar has been practicing for the past 41 years with his primary focus on sports injuries, functional medicine, and wellness.
Dr. Ungar has traveled and treated players on the PGA tour since 1989. He treated several top players who won major open championships. He was the team doctor for the 1993 Ryder Cup in England. He has also served as the team doctor for the U.S.A. Karate team for 7 years. Dr. Ungar holds functional neurology and neurofeedback certifications from the American Functional Neurology Institute, certification from Trigenics Institute of Myoneural Medicine and is board eligible in Chiropractic Neurology. He is a fellow of the American Association of Integrated Medicine, MTHFR certified and has been BCIA—trained in neurofeedback. Dr. Ungar has published a book on the thyroid
gland called “Your Thyroid Chemistry Doesn’t Lie.”
His passion for functional medicine came from his own health condition when he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Conventional medicine didn’t help his condition so he started researching safe and natural solutions. Following lots of research, education, and certification, Dr. Ungar was able to cure himself. He learned how to treat his patients suffering with many conditions using natural methods in a quest for their health and wellness.
Dr. Ungar and his staff provide comprehensive care performing proper diagnostic tests to find the root causes and underlying triggers for his patient’s conditions. Patients are brought back into metabolic and neurological balance through healthy lifestyle changes, nutritional supplementation, and exercises that are tailored to each individual condition. This approach ensures that patients receive the best care possible by improving their condition in safe, non-pharmaceutical, effective, and surgical-free methods rather than just suppressing their symptoms.
Dr. Ungar and his staff offer the best-of-the-best care helping patients on their wellness journey so they can get back to living
their BEST lives.
Thank you Dr. Ungar and your staff for doing all that you do!
A word from Dr. Keith Ungar
“I have been in practice for 41 years. I have always strived to be at the forefront of new technologies to enhance patient care. With a background in treating professional and Olympic athletes, I have consistently sought out innovative solutions to help patients and athletes alike return to their optimal performance levels quickly and without relying on drugs or surgery.”
“One such cutting-edge technology that I have integrated into my practice is the RST-SANEXAS neoGEN® system. After extensive research, I decided to invest in this remarkable machine. The results from using the neoGEN® system on various conditions have been nothing short of phenomenal.”
“The positive outcomes observed in diabetic and chemotherapy-related neuropathy patients suffering from chronic or (long-term) intractable pain and muscle weakness were so impressive that I currently have 2 machines. The difference this technology has made in my patients’ lives is truly remarkable. It’s a powerful tool that has significantly enhanced my ability to provide effective, drug-free treatments.”
“My dedication to exploring and embracing advanced medical devices like the neoGEN® system under scores the commitment to delivering the best possible care. My patient’s results stand as a testament to the profound impact that innovative technology can have on patient outcomes.”

Read the Patient Testimonial below from Allan Mellan, a patient of Dr. Ungar’s, who suffered drop foot.
Treating Patients With Foot Drop/Drop Foot
Drop Foot is characterized by difficulty lifting the front part of the foot due to weakened or paralyzed muscles responsible for dorsiflexion. It can result from nerve damage (such as from injury or conditions like diabetes), muscle disorders (like muscular dystrophy), stroke, or spinal cord injury.
Electrical Stimulation for Drop Foot (EcST) is a non- invasive method that uses electrical currents to stimulated the affected muscles or nerves. By activating the muscles responsible for lifting the foot (such as the tibialis anterior) or the peroneal nerve, EcST helps improve muscle strength and coordination, thereby enhancing dorsiflexion and walking ability. The approach not only improves gait and mobility but also helps prevent muscle atrophy, making it a beneficial option for managing drop foot and improving overall quality of life.
Patient Testimonial
“My name is Allan Mellan and I am a professional caddy on the Champions Tour. At the end of Dec. 2019, I developed drop foot. It was bad enough I couldn’t entertain the idea of going back to work. As luck would have it, Dr. Ungar obtained the RST-SANEXAS neoGEN® machine in the middle of Jan 2020. Before I completed my 24 treatment program, I went back to work. If not for Dr. Ungar, his staff at INTEGRATED MEDICINE OF OHIO and the neoGEN® device, this would not have happened! I highly recommend this treatment
program.“ – Allan Mellan
Frequently Asked Questions
Q… What do I need to look for when treating drop foot? How do I know which placement to utilize?
A…1. Consider severity – do they have any motor function on their own? Is their issue only dorsi flexion or both dorsi and plantar flexion? If they do not show an apparent calf atrophy or severe weakness in the calf, then stick with the linear drop foot approach first.
2. Make sure you have two corresponding electrodes on the motor end plate and the top of the ankle. These are the primary electrodes for the dorsi flexion response.
3. Are they able to achieve a motor threshold with the treatment? Can you see a twitch response? If not, consider the additional back down placement options to focus more on the firing of the motor nerves and establishing that rather than focusing on the strengthening.
