FAQs

Integrative Medicine differs from conventional medicine in that the practitioners take into consideration the patient’s complete mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health. We look at all factors including lifestyle habit, diet, excercise and body type, not just the diagnosis. After reviewing all the above, we ask the patient their goals and draw up a simple and easy to follow plan that is individualized based on their needs.

It may include acupuncture, massage, vitamin iv or injections, cupping and dietary recommendations. We may send you out for additonal testing or refer to other medical specialists as well.

Any previous diagnosis or medications you are currently on will also be taken into consideration while making this plan and we will be happy to work with any of your existing doctors.

If conventional medicine has failed at resolving your issues, we have tools that can help. It doesn’t matter to us if it’s old or new, East or West, we will always do what is best for our patients!

Functional Medicine differs from conventional medicine as we go further in depth into labaratory results that most traditonal doctors. While most medical professionals are only looking for red flags, we are looking for things that are borderline or any patterns that may be presenting.

We also have access to much more advancd testing that most doctors are willing to order if we deem it necessary to do so. With these advanced methods, we can look for any imbalances that may be undiagnosed, but are causing discomfort, pain and symptoms to our patients.

Once we review your medical history and lab work, we then might prescribe specific vitamins, herbs, supplements, dietary and lifestyle modifications to address the root cause of the problem, as well as the symptoms. These mehtods usually work a lot better for chronic conditions than the general pump and dump of medications that are often prescribed to only treat symptoms.

What kind of conditions do we treat with functional medicine?
Chronic Pain, Adrenal Fatigue, Thyroid, Auto-immune, Hormones,  OB/GYN, Inertility, Digestive Disorders, Brain Fog, Allergies, Skin Conditions, Stress/Anxiety, Insomnia, Sleep Disorders and much more.

• If you haven’t completed your paperwork online, please arrive about 15 minutes early.
• Try to eat within a couple hours before your visits so your blood sugar is not too low.
• After all the paperwork is complete, we will begin your initial intake
• A typical eval takes about 15-30 minutes for your first visit and about 10-15 minutes for your treatment.
• The entire process takes about an hour from start to finish, sometimes less, sometimes more.
• We will be asking you many questions about your issues, your energy, sleep, bowels, cycle and more. Some of the quesitons may seem funny, but this info is very important in identifying the root cause of your problems and your underlying constitution.
• Once we have the information we need, we will then lay out a simple and easy to follow treatment plan.
• A typical session may consist of 5-12 acupuncture pins, some far-infrared heat or e-stim, and advice on nutrients, herbs and food. We may do some cupping or a few minutes of masage as well. It all depends on your individual needs that will be determined during the intake and your comfort level.
• Treatments can take anywhere from 10-20 minutes and you will usually spend about 15-20 minutes on the table relaxing.
• When you are done, you can take your time, have some water, or wash up in the restroom before you go. Most patients do well, but some may need a few minutes to pull themselves together as you may feel a bit sleepy and want to wake up before driving.

If you have more questions, please contact us and we will be happy to answer them for you.

Not really. But some points and some people may be a little more senstiive than others. The overwhelming majority of patients have no issues and find the treatments to be quite relaxing. We have different options, such as laser and other modalities, if you just happen to be the one in a million that is just too sensitive.

Our Coral Springs Acupuncturists are highly trained to use the most gentle techniques. This way you will have a wonderful treatment while always staying comfy and relaxed.

Great question! It really depends on how your body reacts to the treaments and how deep the condition is.

An acute flare up or something new may resolve in just a few treatments. A serious long term internal disease could take a few months or longer. During your intial intake, the clinician will give you more details about your treatment plan and what that will look like. If you have a lifelong progressive condition, it may just be about improving your quality of life and managing the severity of the symptoms.

Most patients respond positively, some are miracles, some have decent results and on rare cases, some people just need to try a different form of therapy.
