What is Integrative Medicine? 

Integrative Medicine is a growing field of medicine in which the patient and providers work together to develop a diagnostic and therapeutic program that draws on a variety of traditions, expertise and modalities to address an individual’s specific needs. Protocols developed in this framework, may include one or more modalities of treatment, diagnostic testing, natural and pharmaceutical therapies, as well as, referrals to other practitioners.

It is an approach to treatment that intentionally uses conventional medical treatments alongside other practices (eg. nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, massage, acupuncture, energy work, etc.) for maximum benefit to THE PATIENT!  The best modality is chosen depending on the patient's condition.  It is truly where EAST meets WEST!
