Within the medical field, there are several schools of thought that define the type of care given to a patient, among these are Conventional and Complementary Medicine. Conventional Medicine (Western Medicine) is a system in which medical doctors and other health care professionals (such as nurses, pharmacists, and therapists) treat symptoms and diseases using drugs, radiation, or surgery. On the other hand, Complementary Medicine (Eastern Medicine) is practiced using methods perceived to be more “natural” such as dietary supplements, vitamins, herbal preparations, special teas, acupuncture, massage therapy, magnet therapy, spiritual healing, and meditation. At Leumit, we believe that by offering a combination of both Western and Eastern practices, popularly referred to as holistic medicine, we can provide our patients with a level of health care that is unparalleled in its ability to meet their individual needs while maintaining the highest level of care. In addition to the standard Conventional Medical practices, complementary medicine includes Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Tai-Chi, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Naturopathy, Yoga, Biofeedback and Chiropractic.
