It is unfortunate that the 'conventional' and 'alternative' fields of medicine have developed such a rift between them over the years when they have worked toward the same goal of helping people with their health.

There is a growing number of health care providers who see that there can be a happy marriage between the two factions, and seek to become educated in multiple fields of health and medicine themselves.  It takes great time and devotion to learn multiple methods of healing but we believe it is the best way to truly understand wellness and disease and offer our patients optimal health care.

At Mat-Su Integrative Medicine your treatment plan may involve specific nutritional or biochemical testing and intervention combined with acupuncture, biofeedback, herbal remedies and prescription drugs all combined if that is what seems to be the best approach for you as and individual.

Integrative medicine as a field involves recognizing that people are all unique and that they should be involved in the planning of their own treatment to suit their individual needs.  We see our roles as investigator, teacher and advisor only.  From there we work together with our patients to help them achieve optimum health by engaging them in their treatment and lifestyle change as much as possible.
