Chinese medicine is a system of medicine that has diagnosed, treated, and prevented illness for thousands of years. Based on the observation of nature and our interaction with the environment, Chinese medicine works with the body’s inherent healing power to restore balance and maintain optimal health. Treatments include acupuncture, herbal formulas, massage, breathing and exercise (such as qigong), diet, and lifestyle advice.
It is our policy to communicate with preexisting primary care physicians regarding the treatments clients receive. We consider our treatments a crucial adjunct to your health care and will work as a team with other practitioners.
No. You will not be told to stop or alter any medications that have been prescribed by another doctor. If you have the desire to alter prior medications, speak directly to the prescribing physician about your options. We will work with your physician to find alternative treatments if appropriate.
Interactions between medications and specific herbs, vitamins, and supplements can occur in certain situations. This is why the practitioners at Wildwood Medicine will review all current medications and supplements that clients are taking prior to prescribing additional medicines.
Many insurance companies currently cover acupuncture and physical therapy services. Wildwood Medicine does contract with some private insurances. Please call for specific questions regarding insurance coverage.
