Frequently asked questions.

Functional Medicine (sometimes used interchangeably with Integrative Medicine) focus on addressing the underlying causes of diseases. It emphasizes the life style modifications, scientific based testing, and individualized treatments to achieve the optimal health goals.

Instead of “pill for every ill”, our approach is to gain a thorough understanding of your health status to find the root causes of your issues, partnering with you to reverse the chronic disease process and to reach your full health potential. We are not interested in adding more medications to your daily regimen, rather, we believe healthy life style is the corner stone for people’s health and happiness.

We do combine conventional medical approaches such as physical exams and lab tests to reach accurate diagnoses. Furthermore, we employ other scientific based lab tests not used in conventional medicine to gain a deeper understanding of your condition. Those tests shed light on genetics, hormonal level, nutrition, digestive health , and toxin exposure, etc. related information and the results can further guide us to pinpoint the treatment best suited for you. We invite you to team up with us and discover the benefit of a synergistic approach to medicine.

Acupuncture is a form of Alternative Medicine involves inserting different sized needles through a person’s skin at specific points on the body. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the illness stems from energy (Qi) deficiency and imbalances. The different combinations of needles have therapeutic effects on the body’s meridian points, leading to a boost of energy and harmonious balance of the system. Once the balance is regained and the energy level is adequate, the illness will be resolved. Modern scientific research has shown that acupuncture can stimulate the central nervous system to release different neuro-transmitters which can exert a positive effect on multiple organs and systems. In turn, those changes can further orchestrate natural healing, boost immunity, and promote physical and emotional well-being.

Dr. Geng has found acupuncture to be very effective in treating various conditions including muscle tensions, back pain, joint pain, digestive issues, depression and anxiety, and insomnia to name a few. Acupuncture can also promote weight loss by suppressing hunger and improving the body’s metabolism.
