What is Integrative Medicine? Integrative
Medicine integrates both traditional and alternative medicine with a
holistic approach. Rather than focus on disease, the focus is on the
whole person and all the available modalities for healing. What is Joy Health & Wellness Coaching? Using
a holistic model to balance body, mind, and spirit, we work together
towards joy, health, and wellness. Coaching empowers you in decisions
for health and wellness, and ultimately your joy. Identifying goals,
psycho-educational counseling, emotional balance, medical consultation
and healing touch therapies are among the many modalities utilized. What is craniosacral therapy? "Motion
is health; restriction is disease," in the words of John Upledger. This
light touch therapy releases tension that restricts the body; supports
the system of fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord; and promotes
balance and self-healing. Comfortable loose clothing is recommended.
Clients remain fully clothed while laying on a massage table. The
therapy focuses on releasing the tension in the muscles and soft
tissues that may keep bones out of subtle alignment and prevent proper
motion of the body. With the focus on brain and spinal cord, many
chronic neurologic issues can be treated, including depression and
anxiety. However, the therapy can be beneficial for a range of
problems. Individual response can vary from general relaxation to
somatoemotional release. For more information, please visit www.upledger.com. What is acupuncture? A
therapy from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture involves
the use of very thin solid needles. These sterile needles are placed at
points to balance the flow of "chi" (vital force or "energy") through
the body. In the Chinese medical model, diagnosis is taken with a
standard history as well acupuncture examination of the tongue and
pulses. A range of problems can be treated from nausea to acute or
chronic pain. How long is an average appointment with Dr. Ying? When
compared to a standard physician visit, time is a luxury of

minutes, and follow-up appointments average 30 to 60 minutes. Getting
to know the whole patient (“the holistic approach”) is important, and
one of the key elements to Dr. Ying’s practice. How much is an average visit with Dr. Ying? Fees subject to change without notice. Do you accept insurance? Although
