Welcome to Holistic Healthcare that looks more deeply.
A Different Understanding and Approach to Health and Disease ...
In modern Western medicine, disease is largely viewed through old, incomplete theories such as germ theory and the biochemical medical model. While these are important aspects of medicine to understand, they are not the complete picture. And while breakthroughs have been made in the arena of life-saving emergency medicine, Americans are still increasingly struggling with chronic diseases, pain and dysfunction.
A new understanding and approach to medicine and health is needed.
The long-standing approach of Acupuncture and Traditional or Classical Chinese Medicine (TCM or CM) is different. Instead of merely trying to treat symptoms with pain killers and potentially suppressive, toxic pharmaceutical drugs, Acupuncture/CM seeks to understand and address the underlying causes and imbalances that led to the infection, dysfunction or pain in the first place. This approach has stood the test of time. And while being more than 2000 years old, Acupuncture/CM has advanced even further in modern times with new breakthroughs in understanding and science.
Truly Preventative Health Care ...
Acupuncture/CM has the ability to address the underlying causes of health problems and catch dysfunction before it turns into full-fledged organic disease. Many times, our patients remark that doctors could not find anything wrong with them. Their blood work, X-rays and other tests showed nothing out of the ordinary. The problem, of course, is that although the tests look fine, the patient still has pain and other unexplained symptoms. This is where Acupuncture/CM really shines. A knowledgeable acupuncturist can diagnose and identify what hidden problems are present and fix them before they worsen - potentially saving the patient from surgeries, serious drug side-effects and potentially tens of thousands of dollars in medical costs.
For this reason, many people even see their acupuncturist regularly - once or twice every month or so for health maintenance, prevention and even optimization. At these ‘maintenance sessions’, stress and tight, knotted-muscles and myofascial tissue are released before they become problematic and turn into further pathological (disease) states. Minor and moderate symptoms are remedied at the root so that they don’t become disease ... True preventative health care. Removing these hidden factors can increase overall well-being and improve physical and mental function so that you can more fully fulfill who you were meant to be. Read here what our patients say.
A Recognized and Powerful Therapy ...
After assigning 12 distinguished scientists and physicians to review the effectiveness of acupuncture, the National Institute of Health (NIH), declared, “There is sufficient evidence of acupuncture’s value to expand its use into conventional medicine...” (1997).
