Integrative Acupuncture Orthopedics for Pain Management, Trauma, & Sports Injury
Physical Medicine
Physical Medicine aims to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life in individuals with injury or disability and in those pursuing peak physical performance. It addresses the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
Integrative Physical Medicine utilizes a biomedical understanding of neurology and functional kinesiology- the anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system. It addresses the structure and function of an individual using a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities including:
- Acupuncture
- Electro-Acupuncture
- Trigger Point Therapy (Dry Needling)
- Manual Therapy (Tui Na, Cupping, Gua Sha)
- Herbal Medicine
- Nutrition Counseling
- Self Care & Exercise Guidance
The use of these minimally invasive, safe, and effective integrative techniques work through biochemically mediated responses in the central and peripheral nervous and vascular systems and through local changes in the myofascial tissues.
Physical Medicine helps to improve function and reduce pain, allowing you get moving, stay moving, and enjoy an active lifestyle.
