Kachmann Gallery Promotes New Idea in Medicine

Instead of paying the high cost of prescription drugs, how about reading a book, listening to music or doing yoga. That's the new philosophy of a local neurosurgeon, and it's led him to a new business venture.
Dr. Rudy Kachmann says 50% of all doctors patients could be cured without drugs or surgery. He says a simple reduction of stress would help, so he funded a business that could do just that.
"I do 400 operations a year but I think the other part of being a doctor is character development," says Kachmann.
Instead of always prescribing drugs to his patients, he often teaches better life decisions.
"I hand them music, yoga, meditation, exercise and comedy."
And that's how Dr. Kachmann became attached to the Kachmann Gallery. He funded the renovation of the building located on Lafayette and Douglas. Now inside there's a yoga studio, workout room, several business offices and an art gallery.
"People are overwhelmed when they enter the building, we tried to give it a big city feel," says Kelly Metzger owner of the workout room and manager of the gallery.
Metzger and Kachmann partnered because they see eye to eye when it comes to helping people.
"We focus on healing, yoga and helping people take there lives back," says Metzger.
"What determines what you achieve in life is up to you," says Kachmann. "Better health habits lead to a better life."
Dr. Kachmann says this is not alternative medicine but holistic medicine. These ideas have been around a longtime but in the back of pain books. He says he wants to bring it to the front although it may cost him money.
