Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is a highly personalized approach, designed to address today's healthcare challenges by defining, addressing and correcting the underlying cause of disease.
The initial visit begins with a conversation about each client's health history, current concerns, and personal goals.
Specialized in-office tests are performed, while additional labs may be ordered to fully measure function rather than just disease.
Taking this collective information, an individualized and holistic treatment plan is then designed to correct the source of the true problem versus a reactive series of solutions that will only treat the symptoms.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture originated in China as a medical treatment involving the manipulation of thin, hair-like needles that have been inserted into certain acupuncture points along the human body, and is an integral part of the complete holistic health care system that is Oriental Medicine.
An acupuncturist's perspective on health and sickness relies on the concepts of vital energy, energetic balance, and energetic imbalance.
Where Western medical doctors monitor blood flowing through blood vessels and the messages traveling via the nervous system, acupuncturists monitor the distribution and flow of your vital energy within its pathways, known as meridians, and use combinations of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other treatment options to bring balance back to your body.

Electrical Stimulation – E-stim
Electrical stimulation or E-Stim uses an electrical current to cause a single muscle or a group of muscles to contract.
Electrodes are placed on the skin in various locations by a trained therapist who can recruit the appropriate muscle fibers.
Contracting the muscle via electrical stimulation helps strengthen the affected muscle.
The therapist can change the current setting to allow for a forceful or gentle muscle contraction thus varying the treatment to your needs.
Along with increasing muscle strength, the contraction of the muscle also promotes blood supply to the area.

Detoxification
When people talk about detoxification they are typically referring to the cleaning of your blood of toxins.
This is done by getting rid of the impurities in your blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination.
The body also frequently eliminates toxins through the kidneys, lungs, lymph, intestines, and skin.
The process of detoxifying your body begins by quitting the long term usage of addictive substances, and can be a long and arduous process due to withdrawal symptoms.
While you use addictive substances your body creates a homeostasis, where your body thinks that while there are alcohol or drugs in your system you are in a state of balance.

What We Treat
According to Chinese medical theory, the symptoms and signs that indicate a Western diagnosis of allergies relate to imbalances in the meridian and Organ Systems of the body.
These imbalances may stem from a variety of causes, including stress, poor diet, constitutional weakness, pollutants and environmental toxins.
Over time, if imbalances remain within the body, they will affect the functions of the Organ Systems.
Some of these Organ Systems are involved in the production of Wei Qi (pronounced "way chee").
