Oriental medicine (OM), also known as Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a healing art that existed in some form or other for more than 3,000 years. Some of the earlier texts date back from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE to 220 ACE). In the western world, it is commonly known as acupuncture. However, acupuncture is only one of several modalities that physicians of TCM use to treat patients. TCM emphasizes the role of the body in the healing process and uses herbs and natural agents to maintain health. It is an effective form of treatment and a particularly safe form of therapy. TCM is a complete medical system that takes into account every aspect of human life to promote health and well-being. It sees the body as one whole entity like a “Garden” and encompasses its physical, emotional, energetic, as well as its spiritual aspects. It emphasizes on the “Vis medicatrix” the “healing power of nature” better known as “the inborn ability of the human body to respond to the insult of illness or injury and restore itself to health in most episodes of disease or trauma (Whorton, 2002, p. 6).” The goal for treatment is boosting the ecological condition to favor self-regulatory capacity. Physicians in the eastern world are trained to examine skin, complexion, bones, channels, smells, sounds, mental state, preferences, emotions, tongue, pulse, demeanor, and body build to discern patterns that underlie a patient’s complaints. TCM’s wholistic approach to healing addresses the underlying cause of disease, and allows the body to heal itself naturally. Physicians are taught to treat the cause not just the symptoms of an illness so that the body can function more efficiently and therefore ensuring true health.

Personal Injury
Even the most minor car accidents can lead to severe and debilitating injuries that, if left untreated, can cause pain, discomfort, and disability for years to come. Thankfully, in the state of Florida, we are fortunate enough to have our car insurance cover any healthcare costs associated with car accidents we are involved in, up to as much as $10,000. If you've been involved in a car accident, we always recommend that you are evaluated by a physician. Here are some of the reasons why early evaluation and treatment are so important:
​
1. In order to be eligible for coverage by your car insurance, you must seek treatment within 30 days of your accident. Otherwise, you will have to pay for any treatment you receive as a result of the accident out of pocket or through your health insurance.
​
2. Pain from injuries sustained in an accident is not always felt immediately. Sometimes it can take several weeks for pain to set in. The sooner after an injury treatment is sought, the more likely the injuries will heal, making it less likely for your pain to become chronic.
​
If you've been injured in a car accident, we are here to help. Our treatments are personalized and customized to meet your unique needs. You can trust that we will do everything in our power to make sure that your healing process is swift and as pain free as possible.
