Integrated Medical Group are Physicians who have joined together to offer you service in:
Family Practice
Per book "Family Medicine: Principles and Practice"
A family practitioner is a doctor who specializes in family practice. Family practice (also known as family medicine) is a medical specialty in which general medical care, counseling, and problem solving is provided to an individual or family, without regard to age or as to whether the patient is male or female.
Family practitioners can treat minor cuts and bruises, treat colds, and use stitches. Yet they can also take care of more serious long-term medical problems such as heart problems.
Internal Medicine
Per the "American College of Physicians - American Society of Internal Medicine ...."
Doctors of internal medicine (also called "internists") are doctors that treat adults. Internists are unique in that our focus is on
adult medicine. We don't deliver babies, we don't treat children, nor do we do surgery. Internists, just like general practitioner or
family practitioner doctors, can be your primary care doctor.
Internists take care of people from their teen years through old age and have undergone special study and training that focuses on adult diseases and the prevention of. At least three of our seven or more years of medical school and postgraduate training are dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases primarily affecting adults. We internists care for our patients for life. Usually we see patients in our offices or clinics and sometimes in hospitals and nursing homes.
Medical Acupuncture
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needles
and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
The classical Chinese explanation is that channels of energy run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface.
These energy channels, called meridians, are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues.
An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up the flow in one part of the body and reflects
it in others.
The meridians can be influenced by needling the acupuncture points; the acupuncture needles unblock the obstructions at the dams,
and reestablish the regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments can therefore help the body’s internal organs to correct
imbalances in their digestion, absorption and energy production activities, and in the circulation of their energy through the meridians.
The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the
muscle, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other
chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system.
The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities and in
promoting physical and emotional well-being.
What is Medical Acupuncture? Is it Different from Ordinary Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a very old medicine art, and there are many approaches to learning and practicing it. Medicine acupuncture is the term
used to describe acupuncture performed by a doctor trained and licensed in Western medicine that has also had thorough training in
acupuncture as a specialty practice. Such a doctor can use one or the other approach, or a combination of both as the need arises, to
treat an illness.

What is the scope of Medical Acupuncture?
Medical acupuncture is a system which can influence three areas of health care:
a. Promotion of health and well-being
b. Prevention of illness
c. Treatment of various medical conditions
While acupuncture is often associated with pain control, in the hands of a well-trained practitioner it has much broader applications. Acupuncture can be effective as the only treatment used, or as the support or adjunct to other medical treatment forms in many medical and surgical disorders.
The World Health Organization recognizes the use of acupuncture in the treatment of a wide range of medical problems, including:
a. Digestive disorders: gastritis and hyper-acidity, spastic colon, constipation, diarrhea
b. Respiratory disorders: sinusitis, sore throat, bronchitis, asthma, recurrent chest infections
c. Neurological and muscular disorders: headaches, facial tics, neck pain, rib neuritis, frozen shoulder
d. Tennis elbow, various forms of tendonitis, low back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis
e. Urinary, menstrual, and reproductive problems
Acupuncture is particularly useful in resolving physical problems related to tension and stress and emotional conditions.
Aesthetic Laser Treatment
Laser hair removal uses the advanced technology of laser energy to remove unwanted hair faster and more effectively than any other
procedure including electrolysis. Laser hair removal can treat large areas like the back, shoulders, arms, legs and is gentle enough
for sensitive areas like the face.
Laser skin resurfacing is a modern cosmetic procedure for removing facial wrinkles, aging spots, facial discolorations, acne scars,
rosacea, and skin growths. The laser is passed over the treatment area to eradicate wrinkles around the eyes and mouth or anywhere you have
unsightly lines, hyper pigmentation or blemishes. Lasers are an effective way to remove those superficial lines that make you appear
aged. Plus, laser resurfacing is considered a safer, less invasive procedure than deep TCA peels or Dermabrasion.
The medical facility is also able the provide X-ray, CT and Ultrasound - Radiology procedures.
