Functional Medicine

Combining modern Functional Medicine with the ancient wisdom of East Asian Medicine.

Functional Medicine shares many principles with traditional East Asian Medicine. Both recognize our bodies as complex interconnected webs. Both are systems-oriented approaches to the whole person – including environment. Both have the goal of bringing a person back to their best state of health, identifying root imbalances and treating with a personalized approach. These imbalances can be precursors – the first sign that real disease or impairment is impending. Both Functional Medicine and East Asian Medicine are preventive medicines.

Results were better and longer lasting

I received laser therapy for treatment of neck pain. I was relieved of pain after 5 treatments. The results were better and longer lasting than other therapies.
