Why Choose Acupuncture & Natural Medicine?
Many people never think about using Acupuncture & Natural Medicine as part of their health care regimen. This if often unfortunate and unnecessary and can be do to:
- Misunderstandings of the medicine
- Falsely preconceived ideas of what the medicine involves
- Misinformation about the medicine
- Miseducation about what the therapy can treat
- Dismissal of the medicine without understanding what it treats
Acupuncture & Natural medicine are a comprehensive health care system with the ability to treat almost any health care condition. Instead of treating just diseases as is often done in our current medical system,this medicine treats people in their entirety.
By identifying patterns of disharmony in the body that incorporate physical, mental, and emotional states, Acupuncture & Natural medicine work to bring the body back into a state of balance by regulating the body's energy so that homeostasis can be achieved and healing can begin.

You Have a Doctor & You Should Also Have an Acupuncture Physician
Acupuncture & Natural Medicine should not be looked at as alternative therapy, but a complementary therapy that is primary in its own right. It is my belief that just as patients have primary health care Medical Doctors, they should also have primary care Acupuncture Physicians. There is no reason to believe that these two models cannot work together to bring about the best in health for a patient.
Strengths and weakness lie in both medical systems, yet working together can close some of those gaps and provide a more complete medical model than one of them alone. Acupuncture & Natural Medicine has just as much to say as the contemporary model in regards to someone's health and should therefore be looked at as equals. Unknown to many, Acupuncture Physicians are recognized in the State of Florida as primary health care providers.
A Time Tested Medicine For Today's Healthcare Needs
With somewhere around 3,000 years of medical history, Acupuncture & Natural Medicine have proven themselves to be time tested and effective medical therapies. If there was nothing to the medicine, if it wasn't effective, if it was all placebo, it would not have survived for the generations it has and would not be one of the fastest growing health care professions in the United States.
So many people can benefit from Acupuncture & Natural Medicine, but so many people will never come for therapy. It my hope to change that and reverse the current model where these therapies are sought out as a last chance effort, but instead that they will become the first intervention patients choose to address the healthcare needs. At North Florida Acupuncture, I am are truly dedicated to bringing to you the most comprehensive healthcare I can provide. Please, allow me to address you healthcare needs and concerns today.
