Our bodies are quite adept at repairing themselves, and an understanding of this requires a look into the whole self and not just focusing on the symptomology.

We utilize methods that aid in the facilitation of the body's natural healing ability with modalities like acupuncture, E-stim, herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, natural injections, and bodywork therapy, such as tuina, guasha, and cupping.
