Integrative medicine combines evidence-based conventional care with practices like acupuncture, nutrition, and mind-body therapies — treating the whole person, not just symptoms.
Acupuncture addresses the body's energy and nervous system patterns; functional medicine investigates root-cause biochemistry. Together they cover ground neither can alone.
First-time patients are often surprised by how thorough acupuncture intake is — practitioners examine your tongue, feel your pulse, and ask about sleep, digestion, and stress.
Traditional Chinese Medicine maps the body through systems of Qi, Yin/Yang, and the Five Elements — a framework for understanding patterns, not just diagnosing diseases.
PT rebuilds functional movement and strength; acupuncture reduces pain and nervous system reactivity. Combined protocols often shorten recovery time for musculoskeletal conditions.
Feeling better is important — but tracking objective markers over time lets you and your care team know whether your treatment plan is actually moving the needle.
Conventional medicine excels at acute care and diagnosis. Functional medicine asks "why" — investigating the upstream causes of chronic conditions rather than managing symptoms.
Chiropractic adjustments restore joint mobility and reduce nervous system interference — with evidence supporting its use for low back pain, neck pain, and headaches.
Anxiety, depression, and chronic stress have physiological roots — gut health, inflammation, and HPA axis dysregulation. Integrative care addresses both the psychology and the biology.
