MEDICINE
Ancient Wisdom meets Modern Science for Transformative Healing
We integrate Traditional Chinese Medicine with results oriented, evidence-based strategies to offer comprehensive treatment plans. We believe in combining both cutting edge research and centuries old wisdom to address acute and chronic conditions. Our whole body approach to care is individualized, clinically-proven, and safe.
As just one of the modalities of Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture is the cornerstone of our practice. Operating on the premise that disease occurs when there is an imbalance or stagnation of Qi, blood, and fluids, Acupuncture stimulates the body's own natural healing response. Its strength lies in its long history, gentle nature, and ability to create profound change by correcting the flow of substances.
The precise manifestations of a diagnosis depend on an individual's genes, environment, and lifestyle. The Functional Medicine framework is a systems biology-based method that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Therapies may include acupuncture, lifestyle and diet changes, physician-grade nutrients, herbal medicine, and stress reduction techniques.
The perfect diet does not exist. We partner with you to develop customized recomendations from numerous dietary theories. We believe that food is medicine and that tailoring food choices to your imbalances is the best disease prevention. Testing for nutritional deficiencies, we also prescribe orthomolecular supplements that target optimal health based on your specific biochemistry.
We like to call what we do intelligent medicine because we identify signs and symptoms before they progress into a diagnosable disease. If you're already dealing with a specific condition, we determine the fundamental clinical imbalances underlying the disease in order to treat the root cause. We address your health as an interconnected whole, resulting in comprehensive and individualized treatment.
Treat the person, not the disease
The ways in which a disease can manifest varies on each individual’s unique environment, lifestyle, and genes. We treat the whole person, aiming to restore balance in the physical, mental, and emotional aspects.
Teach preventative medicine
The best primary care is self-care. Therefore, in conjunction with providing treatments, each patient is taught how to promote self-healing and longevity through proper nutrition, exercise, breathing, and lifestyle choices.
Gentle and effective methods
The best medical intervention should be the least invasive, least harmful, and most effective. Acupuncture and various other natural modalities are employed to guide the body towards healing.
The body is a highly intelligent system and capable of self-repair, but when internal and environmental stressors are too high, it becomes unable to regulate itself. Our integrative approach seeks to restore physiological homeostasis so that your body is performing optimally.
