Holistic Health Care Centers is a multidisciplinary clinic offering integrated treatment options. We offer team-oriented treatment options and, when needed, can pair other treatments with acupuncture, such as massage, energy therapy, and chiropractic care, all in the same location. We are family-friendly and ready to meet everyone’s health care needs.

There are several forms of acupuncture offered at Holistic Health Care Centers. Some of these forms include:

• Acupuncture throughout the body
• Electroacupuncture in which gentle electrodes are connected to specific needles to help guide the body’s qi in a specific way based on the patient’s diagnosis.
• Auricular acupuncture uses a microsystem on the ear. This microsystem consists of points that have been shown to affect many illnesses and conditions. Auricular acupuncture can be performed using needles, pressure points, or lasers.
• Korean Hand Therapy (KHT) uses a microsystem on the hand. This microsystem consists of points that have been shown to affect many illnesses and conditions. KHT can be performed using needles, pressure points, or a laser.

“In a Randomized controlled trial, 183 patients with neck pain were randomly allocated to manual therapy (spinal mobilization), physiotherapy (mainly exercise), or general practitioner care (counseling, education, and drugs) in a 52-week study. The clinical outcomes measures showed that manual therapy resulted in faster recovery than physiotherapy and general practitioner care. Moreover, total costs of the manual therapy-treated patients were about one-third of the costs of physiotherapy or general practitioner care.” (Korthals-de Bos et al (2003), British Medical Journal)

“Patients with chronic low-back pain treated by chiropractors showed greater improvement and satisfaction at one month than patients treated by family physicians. Satisfaction scores were higher for chiropractic patients. A higher proportion of chiropractic patients (56 percent vs. 13 percent) reported that their low-back pain was better or much better, whereas nearly one-third of medical patients reported their low-back pain was worse or much worse.” (Nyiendo et al (2000), Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics)

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” or distantly and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy (The International Center for Reiki).
