Acupuncture Acupuncture and oriental medicine is a complete medical system that has diagnosed, treated, and prevented illnesses for well over 5,000 years. Acupuncture is a powerful medicine which aids in strengthening the immune system.

It serves to prevent disease, control pain, and increase both the ability to function and the quality of people's lives. Acupuncture treats: headaches (including migraine), neuralgia, stroke residuals, pain and weakness throughout the body, sciatica, arthritis, constipation, gynecological disorders, depression, Bell's Palsy, anxiety, insomnia, and much, much more! Herbology Many people are now convinced that the expensive pharmaceutical chemicals, electronic gadgets, and radical surgical procedures employed by modern medicine to treat the symptoms of disease often do as much harm as good to the human system. Sometimes creating the conditions for even worse health problems later in life, many of our modern medicines produce unforeseen side effects and are highly addictive. By contrast, traditional herbal remedies are safe and designed to correct the root cause, not the superficial symptoms of human disease. Prevention should always come first. Herbs Treat:  Colds and Flu, Insomnia, Depression, Constipation, Gynecological Problems, Obesity, Male Problems Herbs can help you stop smoking and so much more!

Physical Therapy With the active lifestyles in Florida, it is not unusual for people to experience physical injuries to the spine, joint structures, and soft tissues of the body. Often, work conditions may lead to damaging injuries. A sedentary lifestyle may result in deconditioning and atrophy which can create pain.

Physical therapy provides a solution to correct body structure, strengthen weak muscles, and improve general physical health. Physical therapy alone is effective in the promotion of normal body functioning, but can produce an even better solution when used in conjunction with acupuncture. Together, the two healing arts are effective in the treatment and rehabilitation of whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome (wrist pain), spinal disk problems, muscle sprains, strains and tears, knee and hip replacements, myofascial pain syndrome, vertigo, and many other physical conditions. Therapeutic Massage Touch is the oldest form of healing known to mankind. Many people think of massage as only a way to obtain relaxation, for which it is indeed wonderful. However, massage has great therapeutic value as the soft tissues of the body, when unhealthy, can be the cause of severe pain and mechanical dysfunction. Many systems or "manual therapies" fall under the umbrella of therapeutic massage, including, but not limited to, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial therapy, deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, shiatsu and acupressure, and many more. Stress is the leading cause of illness and disease in America. Relieving stress is therefore the best way to prevent illness and disease. Massage is one of the best ways to reduce both physical, mental, and emotional stress. Massage decreases muscle stiffness and soreness, reduces chronic pain, strengthens the immune system, improves nervous system function, reduces insomnia, and reduces anxiety.
