A Holistic View
Healthwerks - Acupuncture Wellness Clinic in Vancouver Washington (WA), employs a holistic view of health care which fosters a cooperative relationship (or partnership) between the patient and the practitioner. The goal is to achieve maximum well-being, where everything is functioning the very best that is possible for that individual. Though we treat specific complaints, injuries and illnesses, we emphasize the need to look at the whole person and how he or she interacts with his or her environment. This includes an analysis of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, social, spiritual and lifestyle values. We utilize many modalities of diagnosis and treatment, often complimenting and supporting the care of other physicians. We focus on education and encourage people to accept responsibility for their own level of well-being, helping them with everyday choices which put them in charge of their own health.
The treatment methods used by practitioners at Healthwerks are all natural and holistic. Medicinal Chinese and Western herbs, acupuncture, therapeutic massage, Guasha, moxibustion, dietary therapy, and exercises, including Yoga, Qigong and Taiji are all commonly used in clinical practice. All treatment methods are highly effective, cost efficient, easily accepted by patients, and have almost no side-effects or toxicity.
