Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine emphasizes prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of traditional therapeutic and modern scientific methods to encourage a person’s innate ability to heal. Naturopathic medicine focuses on educating patients to be an advocate for their own health. Naturopathic medicine uses multiple modalities to address different dis-ease. Naturopathic physicians are trained as primary care providers who diagnose, treat and manage patients with acute and chronic conditions while addressing disease and dysfunction at the level of body, mind, and spirit.
Chiropractic Medicine
Chiropractic medicine is a system of diagnosis and treatment based on the concept that the nervous system coordinates all of the body’s functions, and that disease results from a lack of normal nerve function. Chiropractic employs manipulation and adjustment of body structures, such as the spinal column and extremities such as shoulders, hands, foot. etc, so that pressure on nerves coming from the spinal cord due to displacement, or misalignments of a vertebral body may be relieved. Practitioners believe that misalignment and nerve pressure can cause problems not only in the local area but also at some distance from it. Chiropractic treatment has been proven to be effective for muscle spasms of the back and neck, tension headaches, and many more. Chiropractic doctors are highly trained to diagnose and formulate treatment plans tailored to the patient’s needs.

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
Acupuncture originates from China and has been practiced there for thousands of years. The traditional explanation for acupuncture’s effectiveness is that it modifies the flow of energy known as qi throughout the body. Small needles are inserted along the channels or Meridians to promote and restore the balance of energy, which flows throughout the body. Acupuncture can balance the opposing forces of yin and yang, keep the normal flow of qi unblocked, and maintain or restore health to the body and mind. This also has an impact on increasing blood circulation to the area and neurological pain patterns which can be a target to treat local pain. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine utilized various modalities and tools such as acupuncture itself, acupressure, cupping, moxibustion, Gua sha, Tuina, Qigong, acutonics and herbal medicine, and traditional Chinese nutritional therapies.
