A truly integrative approach to wellness depends on not only the treatment viewpoints of different health disciplines, but on their unique strengths in diagnosing and understanding the basis for health and dis-ease in the human body. Each health paradigm has something worthwhile to add to the mix. Medicine relies on fact-based knowledge gained mostly from research studies. Chiropractic Care and Massage Therapy have a structural basis, while Acupuncture and TCM are based in a time-honored system of energy and interconnectivity. Integrating these various paradigms into one treatment approach can be challenging but extraordinarily rewarding for both doctors and patients. Rather than relying on one model for answers and the others only for treatment support, as many alternative clinics do, we believe that true integrative care starts with open communication and a willingness to consider multiple answers to the same question. The care we provide at Mahaya is integrative because it begins with collaboration between your naturopathic doctor, chiropractor, massage therapist, acupuncturist, and the rest of our team. We work together to create a treatment plan that combines the best of each discipline and to provide a framework for your understanding of your own health that will support you in whatever health or personal goals you choose to pursue with us.
