I recently had the opportunity to attend an open house at Park Integrative Health located in Sherwood Park.

This is a one-of-a-kind facility with family doctors, internists, massage, acupuncture, reiki, holistic nutrition and counselling under one roof.

Much like how medicine is practiced in China, where hospitals combine Eastern and Western medicine, they treat the patient individually and write up a program – not just based on writing a prescription for pills – perhaps with either Western or Eastern practices or maybe a combination of both.

Currently Park Integrative Health provides routine medical services with two female physicians (accepting new patients), internal medicine physicians (accepting new patients by referral), acupuncture, massage therapy, counselling, dietetic and nutritional counselling (with a registered dietician and Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant), reiki and guided meditation.

The founders believe that there are multiple avenues in the pursuit of health and wellness and they created an environment where professionals from complimentary disciplines could work together. Imagine a place where your physician can collaborate with your acupuncturist and counsellor to ensure that you receive the best care personally tailored to your individual needs.

Their goal is to “empower each individual to reach their highest expression of health and wellness by working with a team of collaborative professionals to address the root cause(s) of illness and/or injury

Massage includes maternal, stone therapy, shiatsu, trigger point therapy, myofascial cupping, and coming soon, craniosacral and reflexology.

Counsellors offer specialized counselling services for children, adolescents and adults.

Physicians provide comprehensive care for all ages.

As Park Integrative Health grows, they are committed to exploring and incorporating services to meet the needs of those they are serving.
