We may require a primary care or specialist physician to do certain examinations or tests. It is important to make sure that there are no potentially dangerous medical problems. We suggest to all of our patients that they maintain a relationship with a primary care physician. We offer you therapeutic modalities which have been preserved for years, specifically because of their effectiveness and low rate of complications. We also evaluate your need for modern Western treatments.
Acupuncture is the cornerstone of a powerful system, but is only one aspect.
Other components of Chinese medicine include herbal therapy, meditative exercise as Tai Chi and Qi Gong, and massage. Movement and relaxation are important aspects of pain management. Many systems have been used, but we like systems of Chinese exercise. Just as acupuncture has endured, the Chinese exercise system has also endured. This is why we often will suggest movements derived from this system for therapeutic movement programs.
