Meet Dr. Saskia Lytle-Vieira

From a very young age, I knew I was meant to be a doctor. Little did I know I would find osteopathy, which would be such an enormous blessing in my life and a way of practicing medicine that makes my heart sing. Osteopathy is my life’s work, and patients absolutely love it.

It is my hope that you can find a physician who cares about you and can provide an outstanding level of expertise, support, and love.


Dr. Lytle-Vieira is:

  • Board certified and residency trained in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine/Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine. She completed her residency at St Barnabas Hospital in Bronx NY and Plainview Hospital in NY.

  • A physician with extensive continuing medical education in integrative holistic medicine from The Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine, The University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, and The Center for Mind Body Medicine.

Dr. Saskia Lytle-Vieira, DO, is a board certified osteopathic physician (medical doctor) in Austin, Texas specializing in neuromusculoskeletal medicine/traditional osteopathic manipulative medicine for adults, children, and infants.

She treats a wide range of musculoskeletal and nervous system problems from a holistic, natural perspective, including back pain, neck pain, and joint problems. She has a special interest in treating adults and children with traumatic brain injury/concussion, pain after car accidents, neck pain, headaches/migraines, vertigo, and TMJ problems, as well as babies with colic and feeding problems.

When not seeing patients in her Austin office, Dr. Lytle-Vieira enjoys traveling around the world with the World Wildlife Fund and National Geographic, having visited the Galapagos Islands and Iceland. In the Galapagos, she had a wonderful encounter with a very friendly (and large) sea lion.

“The human body is like a concert hall where superb and stunning symphonies are played- every note in its right time, exemplifying perfection between the interdependent systems of the body.”
