You deserve the best treatment possible — for mind, body and spirit. Woodwinds encourages you to complement your medical care with healing arts therapies. Also known as integrative therapies, complementary medicine or complementary therapies, these therapies help you heal and recover. They include:

• Acupressure
• Acupuncture
• Energy-based therapies
• Essential oils
• Guided imagery
• Healing music
• Massage

Members of our nursing staff practice a holistic model of care, recognizing the importance of body, mind and spirit in the healing process. Healing arts therapies are designed to enhance, not replace, traditional therapeutic measures such as pain medication, exercise and therapy.
