Oriental Medicine (OM)–
including Acupuncture, Herbal Therapy Nutrition,
TuiNa Masssage, and TaiChi – has been around for about 5,000
years. OM is a comprehensive system of natural healthcare that
takes into account your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
health, and recognizes that any imbalance in these systems can
lead to disease.
In China of course, Oriental Medicine is used to treat everything–
childbirth, setting bones, dentistry, depression– it is their medicine-
Acupuncture is even commonly used in veterinary medicine. In the
US, patients come to an Acupuncture Physician primarily for pain
relief and pain management, but more and more for a broader
range of conditions including allergies, addictions, colds and flu,
stomach ulcer, fibromyalgia, tinnitus, skin diseases, immune
balancing, weight loss...the list is endless.
Acupuncture is especially popular in the U.S. among patients
looking for alternatives to expensive procedures and drug therapy.
Although acupuncture is not currently covered by most health
insurance plans, the preventative benefits far outweigh the
longterm expenses both physical and financial.
Realizing the benefits of modern modalities – Eastern and Western
modern and ancient – Dr. Joanie combines the time-honored
wisdom of OM with the latest advances in energetic medicine, and
works together with her patients to discover their own innate healer.
