More Patients Seeking Pain Management using Acupuncture and Chiropractic

On the corner of Alameda and Harlan in Lakewood, next to the Asian grocery market VIET HOA, there is a new trend in medical science. At the medical office of Dr. John Wu, MD, patients are waiting to receive pain relief on a regular basis. This is different from the normal MD practice where the doctor sees a patient twice or three times a year for their check up and shots.

Because he and his staff speak many languages, the Comprehensive Health Care Center cater to many for their medical needs. As more patients demand better pain management, a team of Pain Management Specialists were recruited, including experienced Acupuncturist, Sports Injury Massage Therapist, and a Chiropractor for structural issues. This integrated model of healthcare works for everyone's benefit as a one-stop-shop healthcare practice. Plus, the advantage of going to a medical office for pain management is that one can still get a written prescription.

As hospitals narrow their practice to Emergency and Trauma care to keep costs down, more patients will have to turn to their Primary Care for pain management. Dr. Wu's innovative practice is an indicator of better healthcare and better quality of life ahead. Easily integrated into the MD's office for insurance billing, and affordable as self-pay, Acupuncture, Sports Injury Massage and Chiropractic Adjustments are healthily on the rise.
