Integrative Medicine Tamarac

Integrative Medicine Tamarac is an acupuncturist in Lauderhill, FL, located at 8197 N University Dr #2. The practice takes an evidence-based approach to treating the whole person, addressing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs together rather than focusing on a single illness or disease. Care combines conventional approaches, such as medication and psychotherapy, with complementary therapies that include acupuncture, Chinese herbal therapy, chiropractic adjustment, culinary medicine, holistic psychotherapy, massage therapy, Reiki, yoga and tai chi. Acupuncture, one of its core offerings, uses thin needles to rebalance the body's energy and prompt the release of natural chemicals that fight illness or symptoms, and it is used most often to relieve chronic pain. The practice serves people with long-lasting or complex conditions as well as healthy people seeking to maintain their well-being, and its providers coordinate care with a patient's primary care physician and specialists.

Providers at the practice focus on preventing and managing chronic diseases rather than treating acute medical problems or emergencies. Patients are treated as equal partners in their own healing, and the relationships between patients and their providers are central to the approach. Chinese herbalists draw on formulas from a traditional Chinese medicine text containing thousands of herbs, minerals and extracts. Chiropractic care includes adjustments to realign joints, soft-tissue therapy to release tension, exercises and stretches to restore joint stability, and kinesio taping to support sprained joints and muscles as they heal. Culinary medicine pairs the science of food, nutrition and medicine with cooking, and may use special diets, including vegan, low-carb and low-FODMAP plans, to improve or reverse common chronic diseases. Holistic psychotherapy uses evidence-based therapies to address mood, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, while massage therapy, Reiki and hypnotherapy round out the complementary services available.

The practice holds a 5.00 rating from the customers who have reviewed it.
