INTEGRATIVE &
REHABILITATIVE MEDICINE

The treatments offered in this area embrace conventional (or western) medicine and incorporate traditional (or alternative) therapies where appropriate. Alternative therapies include modalities such as acupuncture, manual therapy, and medicinal herbs. Many of these therapies can be used to compliment the western treatment plan, enhancing the successful outcome of the patient's health. Rehabilitation includes:
  • Exercise plans
  • Manual therapies (including massage)
  • Diet recommendations
  • Equipment (such as laser, ultrasound, & electro-stimulation) to enhance healing, reduce scaring, and return the patient to a higher level of function.

Acupuncture:

Acupuncture is a method of stimulating specific points in the body to affect a certain response, There are various forms of acupuncture including:
  • dry needling (most familiar)
  • acupressure
  • aquapuncture (injecting solutions into a point)
  • electroacupuncture (electrostimulation of a point)
  • moxibustion (the use of heat to stimulate an acu point)
Most western practitioners associate acupuncture for the treatment of arthritis, however, many other diseases including allergic dermatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, neurological conditions (including intervertebral disk disease, lumbosacral disease, seizures), urinary and fecal incontinence, anxiety disorders, immune-disorders, diabetes, and chronic sinusitis, among others, have shown a response to acupuncture treatment.
