Crescenta Family Medical - PRACTICE AREAS

What We Do

The adept diversified healthcare providers in our multidiscipline center will combine knowledge and expertise to maximize all potentials. At Crescenta Family Medical we provide medical care as well as: acupuncture, massage and chiropractic treatment.

Although all patients have similarities in anatomy and physiology, no two persons are alike. Each patient has a unique health history and unique health expectations. It is indeed the reason why our team of experts, in a multi-care center, takes extra time to formulate a specific and individual treatment plan for your condition.

Generally, the treatment process will consist of three steps:

Intensive
Reconstructive/Rehabilitation
Active Home Care and/or Maintenance

Cost and insurance questions concern many patients. Although each prescribed course of treatment calls for different financial requirements, most insurance companies pay for these treatments. To maximize treatment results and minimize cost, patient compliance, as well as general contractual agreements and protocols must be met. Our office staff is knowledgeable in dealing with insurance questions and is always available to assist you. We will do our best to provide your insurance company with the required information based upon your specific insurance plan and condition.

For patients without insurance or patients with deductibles, non-covered services, co-insurance payments and/or co-payments, financial arrangements can be discussed with our financial administrator to help establish an easy payment plan. We accept Visa and Mastercard for your convenience.

By taking a team approach to your healthcare needs and providing a multidiscipline approach in one convenient location, you receive the best, most comprehensive care possible, saving you time and money.

Acupuncture
Acupoints within the meridial system can be stimulated to enhance the flow of qi (pronounced CHEE). When acupuncture needles are inserted into these acupoints (just under the skin), they help correct and rebalance the flow of energy and consequently relieve pain and/or restore health. These acupoints are grouped along specific pathways or meridians that cross the body. The flow of energy, through these pathways, helps to maintain good health. When the flow of energy is blocked for any reason, there is disruption of health, which may result in pain and illness. By stimulating appropriate acupuncture points along these meridians, the energy is released and regulated, and health may be restored.

Massage
The massage therapist, trained in a variety of massage techniques such as reflexology, myofascial release, shiatsu, deep tissue work, hot stone therapy and aromatherapy provides a wide range of benefits.

These benefits include:

Release of stress and fatigue by increasing total relaxation
A chemical release which increases a sense of well-being
Greater body awareness of where you “Hold your Stress”
Increased oxygenation of the cells, which allows the cells to heal more quickly
Stimulating soft tissues, such as muscles, that might otherwise be neglected
Lymphatic drainage which can enhance the body’s natural immunity
Stimulation and conditioning of the skin and underlying cutaneous tissues
Relief of tightened muscles, tendons, and ligaments caused by illness, injury, lack of exercise, and/or stretching

Stress relief alone can improve your vitality and state of mind. Massage therapy can play an important role in your life.
