Our Philosophy
“It is my goal to serve a community of people who feel hopeless. Hopeless because nothing has worked. Resigned to a life of chronic pain, fatigue, allergies, headaches, and chronic illnesses. I have been there myself and it doesn’t have to be like that. There is hope. I wholeheartedly believe in this medicine and in our bodies ability to heal itself.”
Patient Focused Care:
Our goal is to support our patients to achieve their health goals. This looks different for everyone, the amazing thing about Oriental Medicine is its ability to look at someone and their disease or condition in context of the whole. That’s why we call it Holistic medicine, we don’t separate any of the symptoms that you’re experiencing. In context of one another, symptoms can create a full picture of what’s going on with someone. Each patient will get a treatment plan specific to their individual needs/goals; some patients will need maintenance care and other patients will be able to address an acute issue and not need ongoing care. The point is, there is no one size fits all treatment, it’s always patient centered.
Getting to the Root:
Think of Dr. Niemeyer like your health detective, she’s here to put all the pieces together. In Oriental Medicine we think of things in terms of root and branch treatments. A branch treatment is like treating anxiety as it comes up, this can be effective for symptom relief. A root treatment is finding out what the root of the anxiety is, like adrenal fatigue, and treating that. Root treatments are better for long term results, they can take longer to treat because it takes time to find out and correct the root of the problem but its long lasting. We do in fact treat both, the root and the branch, we treat them at the same time for the best results. It’s amazing the healing that can happen when you treat the root!
Consistency and Efficiency:
We run our office consistently and efficiently: we always run on time, we get back to patients in a timely manner, we do what we say we are going to do. Everything we do is with the upmost respect of our patients time and energy. We understand that your time is valuable and so is ours, so we act accordingly.
