Alternative Medicine Practitioner Visalia Near Me

4worldlovers:
Are you ready to start feeling better? Traditional Chinese Medicine, It Works!

Welcome, Center for Integrated Medicine has relocated to 816 W. Oak Ave as of Feb. 2017. Our Center was established in 1994, the first medical practice of its kind to start locally in Visalia. The Center is now the largest independent, full-service TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) practice in California South Valley.

We are medical practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (not by racial descent, but by professional degree). TCM evolved from the ancient Chinese and is both an art and a science. It is important to understand that TCM is called “Traditional” because it is a complete medical system just like allopathic conventional medicine. Chinese medicine is called “Traditional” because it follows accepted medical methods and has proven explanations for its effectiveness. Therefore TCM is a complete medical system based on natural and holistic principles for both diagnostic and treatment purposes. TCM is also functional medicine.

At its core, it is based on medical principles that view the body as an integrated whole of mind, body, and spirit. We understand that we must practice side-by-side with our conventional Western medical colleagues (those with designated M.D. title) to best serve the healthcare needs of our patients. The goal here is to successfully integrate TCM with the customary conventional Western medicine that the majority of the people receive. To that end, our approach is to provide medical care that is either alternative, complementary or as an adjunct. We believe that providing this kind of healthcare choice to our patients is the best of both worlds.

We will find innovative solutions to your health-care needs, we care and we listen. In addition to being in good standing with the medical community, our success record with patients has been exemplary over the years. Our Center consists of a medical clinic with an on-site, one-of-kind natural medicine/ herb pharmacy and on-site herb garden (at its beginning stages). The Center also serves as an accredited teaching facility for interns and medical students. Our facility is convenient for patients because it is a stand-alone building with private parking (as well as plenty of street parking). We are located at the corner of Oak Ave and Conyer, downtown Visalia.

Thank you for visiting our website. There is so much more to learn about who we are and the world of TCM. Please call us to schedule your appointment today at 559-625-4246.

4worldlovers: After only 4-5 treatments I was fully able to grasp objects again with my right hand! I was skeptical at first and did not believe it would help. I met Dr. Ramy and he was amazing!

Wow, to date I am able to stand long term, walk and slightly run on my left knee, without the experience of excruciating pain. These were activities that I could not perform prior to acupuncture.

I definitely feel an improvement after treatment as well as energetic with a sense of euphoria! I would recommend this practitioner to all my friends and family.

Acupuncture is a Godsend! Often completely pain-free, it actually feels like a healthy release. It works on all levels of the self - body, energy, emotions, mind, and spirit.

My conditions are practically non-existent at the moment! Acupuncture is magical and I wish everyone could see and feel the benefit for themselves. I am thrilled with the results I have seen!

Personally, the treatment helped me relieve stress and maintain my blood pressure levels (that tend to rise) and I also noticed relief in leg pains I was used to getting.

Ramy is a gifted healer who is tremendously skilled in this healing art and wonderfully knowledgeable. He takes a compassionate, comprehensive approach to my health and overall well-being.

I trusted Ramy and his knowledge of acupuncture and can honestly say that he’s an amazing practitioner. After a couple times of being under his care I started to feel relief.

You will feel relief with this acupuncture treatment! I would absolutely recommend this practitioner, he is a great human being and very friendly.

Overall, I have experienced muscle relaxation, and reduction of tension. Also, others have noticed how relaxed I look and that I was no longer complaining of my aches and pains.

Ramy is a natural healer and really goes out of his way to make you feel safe and comfortable. He is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and responsive to individual needs.

I feel that the treatment (acupuncture/herbs) is less invasive than taking prescription drugs, and I feel better knowing that the treatments are a more natural approach for the body to heal.

The pain in my foot is healed and my back is feeling much better. Acupuncture is a great method of relieving pain, especially if you don’t want to have surgery.

Thank you Ramy, you saved my back and now I feel my age again! I can’t recommend him enough. If you’re debating on wether to go or not, you should ABSOLUTELY seek his medical expertise.

Acupuncture is the “art of tuning” the body, mind, and spirit to a harmonious state. There are 14 primary channels, most of which bear the names of organs such as liver, heart, and kidney. These channels connect to their respective organs, and also course along anatomical zones, making them effective for both internal medicine as well as the treatment of pain.

Functional medicine is a cutting-edge medical paradigm, and certainly the direction in which modern medicine is heading today. It is a holistic evidence-based approach to healthcare and disease prevention that is focused on restoring function to the body’s organs and core mechanisms. Functional lab values are more sensitive and finely tuned than standard lab tests, allowing greater predictive insight into potential disease pathologies. Personalized supplement protocols are carefully composed and prescribed, offering a natural, powerful, and cost effective treatment strategy.

Herbal materials such as roots, flowers, leaves, and minerals embody the qualities and properties of nature’s abundant treasure-house of healing. Not only can herbs be used to treat signs and symptoms, but they also enter our lives in truly subtle ways, which profoundly nourish, anchor, and uplift our spirit (Shen).


One of the world’s most ancient healing modalities and still one of the most effective and widely used therapies today. Cupping increases circulation and promotes lymphatic drainage helping to remove inflammation, excess fluids, and toxins from the body tissues. By virtue of reawakening the body’s innate healing system, cupping significantly increases the efficacy of adjunct therapies.
