FIRST HEALTH ASSOCIATES, SC
Leaders in Integrative Medicine
Welcome to First Health Associates, Center for Integrative and Complementary Medicine. We are a unique multidisciplinary health care clinic where patients are offered choices in their care. We are a place where mainstream medicine is practiced conservatively. Where you’ll be able to find and choose a vast array of conventional medical and alternative treatments.
Where finding solutions to complex problems becomes a team effort. A place where you are the center of care, not your symptoms.
We offer help with the common cold, digestive issues, a sprained ankle or your annual physical. We are a place where you come to get your blood pressure under control or your hormones in balance. A place to come to fix your bad back or relieve your carpal tunnel symptoms.
Plus, we enjoy seeing patients no one else can seem to help. That’s because at First Health we don’t rely on one health system. In addition to internal and physical medicine we employ a vast array of alternative care specialties. We have specialists in internal/family medicine, physical/orthopedic medicine, Chinese medicine, dietetics, nutrition, behavior counseling, physical therapy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, biofeedback and chiropractic care.
So whether your problem requires a simple prescription or a coordinated team effort you’ll find a lot of solutions all conveniently located under one roof.
But, why stop at restoring health, once we help you regain lost health, we’d love to help you stay healthy. Through our Living A Healthy Lifestyle wellness program we offer annual physicals and screening exams, weight loss, nutritional counseling, performance enhancement coaching, guided meditation, personal training, yoga and tai chi.
