Integrative Medicine visits involve a deeper life inquiry to help patients make connections between their life experiences and their health and wellness. Visits focus on all aspects of a person's life that impact health, including sleep, nutrition, exercise, pain patterns, stress, emotions, meaning and purpose, and more. An integrative biopsychosocial approach that acknowledges the mind-body connection is used to develop an individualized treatment plan. Unresolved pain and stress-related symptoms are common areas of treatment focus.

Osteopathic Manual Medicine emphasizes the interrelated unity of all systems in the body, each working with the other to heal in times of illness. Osteopathy takes a holistic, whole-body approach to healthcare. It uses manual ‘hands-on’ techniques to improve circulation and correct altered biomechanics, without the use of drugs. An osteopathic physician does not concentrate only on the problem area, but uses manual techniques to balance all the body systems, and to provide overall good health and wellbeing. Diagnosing and treating conditions using these techniques is called Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM). Techniques include stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance.
Medical Acupuncture
by Physician Acupuncturists
ACUPUNCTURE is a whole body health approach that is thousands of years old. Sterile, thin stainless steel needles are gently inserted to correct, strengthen, balance the energy flow in the body to restore proper function. After needles are placed, the patient relaxes with instrumental music playing for 20-40 minutes with a heat lamp over the areas being treated. It is a healing and relaxing experience that breaks the patterns of symptoms caused by an upregulated autonomic nervous system. Most acupuncture treatment protocols involve a series of treatments for effectiveness.

Acupuncture Treats:
DRY NEEDLING is an intramuscular stimulation technique used to treat ACUTE dysfunction of muscle and connective tissue. Needles are inserted into TRIGGER POINTS in the muscle and strongly stimulated to get a neural reaction. It can be very effective in getting the muscle to release its tension, improve range of motion, and decrease pain.

CUPPING
Cupping therapy is an ancient technique of healing. Cupping is performed by applying cups to selected skin points and creating a subatmospheric pressure by suction.
Cupping is used to treat musculoskeletal pain. Reported effects of cupping therapy include promotion of the skin's blood flow, changing of the skin's biomechanical properties, increasing pain thresholds, improving local anaerobic metabolism, reducing inflammation, and modulation of the cellular immune system.
