Determining and treating the real source of a person's medical condition can lead to a more lasting, far-reaching, and satisfying solution than treating only the symptom. And finding a solution that avoids resorting to drugs and that encourages the body to heal itself contributes to the person's long-term health and well-being. The skilled professionals in the Integrative Medicine Department at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital Health & Fitness Center examine an individual's whole being along with the specific problem. We evaluate the person so we can determine the healing method or combination of methods that works best; then we integrate those methods in order to improve the person's health and life. Because each person is unique, we consider a variety of remedies, often including conventional medical therapy, all designed to help the body care for itself.
This ancient Oriental method of healing uses tiny needles placed along energy pathways just below the first layers of skin to relieve pain, stress, and other health conditions by locating and removing the causes. Our skilled practitioners reopen these pathways to enable stores of energy to flow freely within the body and to reach areas that had become energy-deprived.
