Do you know what they call alternative medicine that's been proven to work? Medicine! - Tim Minchin, comedian and actor
Welcome to Your New Primary Care Provider!
Acupuncture is no longer considered "Alternative Medicine". Healthcare has evolved and Eastern Medicine is now incorporated into healthcare to bridge the gap that exists in Modern Medicine and provide compassionate and comprehensive care.
As a Primary Care Provider Mend treats you through the many facets of Eastern Medicine (Acupuncture, Cupping, E-Stim, Traditional Herbal Formulas, Moxa, etc....), as well as Functional Medicine (Lab Work, Non-prescription Medication and targeted Supplements, Comprehensive Nutritional Consultations and Behavior Modification Plans) and work as a liaison with your Western Specialists. We treat the root of the disease and do not just stick a bandaid on or shove a pill down your throat to mask your symptoms. We strive to make sure you are getting the most comprehensive and top-notch healthcare possible.

* Only receive Acupuncture by a Licensed Acupuncturist! Physical Therapists and MDs receive "certificates" in a weekend course and call their treatments "Dry Needling". A weekend course or certification cannot properly train ANYONE to deliver the care and knowledge of a properly Licensed Acupuncturist.
