DEFINING INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
Integrative Medicine is a comprehensive form of medical care delivered by primary care medical providers that are dually trained in both Eastern and Western Medicine. Our patients are evaluated as whole living systems, which includes body, mind and spirit.

Being able to merge the two systems gives us an advantage in preventing, diagnosing and treating illness. The following is a brief description of some of the common modalities employed at our clinic.

ACUPUNCTURE:
This system of treatment employs very thin needles to stimulate specific points the nervous systems to secrete neurochemicals such as endorphins, cortisone and other substances to stop pain and rehabilitate damaged tissues. It is also very effective in rebalancing the hormonal system and bringing a lasting sense of well-being. Acupuncture is well support by current scientific literature and 5000 years of Chinese Medical history. In ancient times it was said to move stagnant energy of the meridians can cure and prevent disease.

ACUPRESSURE & TUI NA
These are therapeutic massage systems that include techniques for soft tissue injury, Osteopathic adjustments, energetic imbalances, and stress release. In addition, family members of patients may be taught the basic techniques to be applied at home for improved healing outcome.

TAI CHI-CHI GUNG
These are movement, breathing, and meditative arts.

They are characterized by slow, graceful movements, breathing, and visualization techniques that benefit the functioning of the body's major systems. Many patients find their mood, blood pressure, energy, and concentration significantly improved, in addition to increased flexibility, strength and decreased pain.

CHINESE HERBOLOGY
The Chinese use methods of combining herbs for treatment of disease, dysfunction, pain and prevention. Treatment with a combination of herbs is more efective than the limited European style of single herb treatment. Botanical substances have both medicinal effects and adverse side effects so it important to have a clinician well trained in their administration.
