East-West Integrative Medicine Clinic

Philosophy

We take a holistic approach to treating body, mind, and spirit. The roots of Traditional Chinese Medicine are found in ancient Taoist philosophy. Taoism views the individual as an energy system in which body and mind influence and balance one another to maintain good health. We believe that acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, nutrition and exercise are essential elements for maximizing health and preventing illness in a stressful world.

Why Choose Acupuncture?

There are many reasons to choose acupuncture for pain relief. Acupuncture can be used alone or in conjunction with conventional therapies or pain relieving drugs to treat various types of pain. It is a drug-free way to minimize or eliminate pain from a variety of conditions. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine states that there are “fewer adverse effects associated with acupuncture than with many standard drug treatments (such as anti-inflammatory medication and steroid injections) used to manage painful musculoskeletal conditions.”
