Osteopathy or Osteopathic medicine is a form of drug-free non-invasive manual medicine. Our focus is on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles and spine. The goal of these treatments is to positively affect the body's muscular, nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.

Acupuncture, originating over 3, 500 years ago in China, is one of the oldest and most practiced forms of alternative medicine. Acupuncture uses long thin needles placed in precise points to administer treatment. Dr. Fuchs has been practicing medical acupuncture for over 20 years and in combination with other treatment methods has found that it can be effective for treating a multitude of conditions. One of the differences between acupuncture and medical acupuncture is that medical acupuncture is performed by a doctor trained and licensed in Western Medicine.

Biopuncture is a therapy that injects small quantities of biological material under the skin or into the muscle. An important note about Biopuncture is the fact that it is grounded in conventional diagnosis. Biopuncture is usually used in combination with traditional or alternative treatment. We feel that coupled with Oseopathic Manipulation Therapy it is a very effective combination. Each Biopuncture substance works through different mechanisms in the body to stimulate an immune response. Traumeel has been shown, in clinical trials effective for treating acute athletic injuries (Orizola A et al. 2007) by inhibiting IL-1ß and TNF-alpha secretion.
