Functional - Integrative Healthcare

If you’re looking for a real solution to your problem and not just symptom care, then we’d love to help place you on a path to a healthy life.

We pay particular attention to Neurology, Endocrinology and Metabolic Dysfunction using Functional Holistic Medicine as a primary means of finding solutions.

An individualized program, involving a multi-faceted approach including, but not limited to, Functional Neurology applications and Integrative Nutritional Therapy, will be customized and designed to meet your goals and needs.

The goal is to induce positive, functional changes in circulation and brain chemistry without manipulating the brain’s physiology with psychotropic medications. These changes will allow the brain’s natural neurotransmitter functions to begin working accurately and with more efficiency. This positively influences healthy hormone balance, healing and optimal well-being.

Treatable Conditions with

Holistic Functional Medicine: 

Acupuncture and TCM Naturopathy 



Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine complement conventional medicine. They are not substitutes for any conventional medical advice, medications or treatments. As a complement to conventional medicine, acupuncture can treat both acute and chronic problems such as insomnia, digestive and elimination problems, headaches, sleeping disorders, chronic pain, smoking and eating disorders, and much more.

Acupuncture can help to reduce or eliminate the need for medications for many conditions including narcotics and other pain-relievers, but your family doctor must always be consulted in such instances.

Holistic Functional Medicine - Traditional Chinese Medicine naturopathy looks at illnesses from a different perspective than conventional medicine. The basic tenet of Chinese Medicine is that we have a life force that energizes all the metabolic activity in our bodies, and this life force (often referred to as "qi") is always moving and flowing. When qi flows unimpeded, we are healthy. When qi is blocked, we get pain and ultimately disease. The strategy of the practitioner of Oriental Medicine is to find the areas of blocked energy, and help remove those blocks, which in turn helps the body return to its natural healthy state.Fundamentally, health and healing is all about proper circulation.

When you first enter an the office of an acupuncturist - naturopath, the practitioner will sit with you and do an intake. We are interested in all your symptoms and medical history which helps, which helps us start to determine our treatment strategy. The Chinese medical model is often very effective at treating hard to diagnose problems since it does not rely on having to know the biochemical reason for your condition, which is not known in most cases, particularly where blood tests and MRI's are normal. Even when blood tests show imbalances, it is not usually known why this is happening.

This difference in perspective means that Traditional Chinese Medicine can often make sense of illnesses that Western medicine has difficulty treating. In cases where Western medicine may be limited to prescribing medication for symptom management, acupuncture may be able to intervene and encourage the body in a self-healing process. Acupuncture/Oriental Medicine is currently the fastest growing healing modality in the country.

In the hands of a well-trained practitioner, acupuncture has much broader applications beyond pain relief. Traditional Chinese Medicine naturopathy treats an even more extensive range of additional conditions

The World Health Organization (WHO) published an official report listing 31 symptoms, conditions and diseases that have been shown in controlled trials to be treated effectively by Acupuncture. Following is the list of conditions shown through controlled trials to be treated effectively by Acupuncture.  Many other conditions benefit from Functional Integrative Medicine including evidence-based nutritional science, botanical medicine, cold laser and manual therapies provided by Dr. Mick:
