Lyme Disease and Complex Symptom Care
Persistent fatigue, body aches, concentration problems, and other long-lasting symptoms can have numerous possible causes. A careful medical evaluation is therefore important before attributing them to one infection or environmental exposure.
Dr. Moorcroft’s practice describes a focus on patients with tick-borne illnesses and persistent symptoms. However, current CDC guidance notes an important distinction between documented Lyme disease and prolonged symptoms following appropriately treated Lyme disease. The CDC recommends the term Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome for prolonged symptoms after treatment and discourages assuming those symptoms represent an ongoing bacterial infection without appropriate evidence.

This distinction matters when considering additional testing or treatment. Other medical, neurological, metabolic, medication-related, or psychological causes may need to be evaluated as part of a broader diagnostic process.
PANS and PANDAS
Dr. Moorcroft has also been professionally involved with PANS and PANDAS. These conditions involve sudden-onset neuropsychiatric symptoms in children and can be challenging to diagnose because there is no single laboratory test that confirms either disorder.
The National Institute of Mental Health notes that assessment requires ruling out other potential explanations for symptoms. Treatment depends on the clinical situation and may involve management of documented infection along with appropriate psychiatric or behavioral treatment when needed.

Osteopathic and Patient Care Approach
As a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Moorcroft received conventional physician training together with additional education in the musculoskeletal system and osteopathic principles.
His professional background has included osteopathic manipulative medicine and cranial osteopathic training. Evidence for manual therapies varies according to the condition being treated. NCCIH notes that manipulation may provide modest benefit for some patients with low-back pain, but it should not replace appropriate diagnostic testing or established medical treatment when those are necessary.
