Specializing in Integrative Medicine:
Integrative Medicine blends the best of traditional, allopathic medicine with the proven healing practices of alternative and complementary therapies and focuses on prevention and the body´s natural ability to heal itself. By blending conventional medicine with holistic healthcare, they are able to treat the causes, as well as the symptoms, so healing can occur at a deeper level.

Integrative medicine embraces the balanced use of both modern medical technology and drug therapies when necessary with the kinder, gentler approach of mind-body therapies and natural healing techniques whenever possible, in the effective management of chronic illnesses and life style changes.

The Treatment Plan:
At the Center for Health & Wellbeing, patient care starts with an integrative medical visit. From here a medical provider will develop a treatment plan specific to an individual´s needs and may also include conventional medications and diagnostic care as well as one or more alternative or complementary therapies that are offered at the clinic including; Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Naturopathic Medicine, Therapeutic Massage, Nutrition or Weight Management.

Countless studies have documented the profound influence that our thoughts, emotions and stress level have on our health. At The Center for Health & Wellbeing they understand that achieving optimal health and longevity involves healing all aspects of a person, that´s why their therapies address the whole person; body, mind and spirit.

At the Center for Health & Wellbeing, the entire person, rather than the individual symptoms, is the focus of treatment. Proper diagnosis and treatment is achieved by learning about the patient along with the environmental, social and emotional factors that may cause distress and discomfort.

This may mean adding a nutritional consultation or acupuncture or massage therapy to a patient´s treatment plan to help restore harmony and balance to a patient´s life.
