Dr. Khalsa incorporates the use of acupuncture with almost all patients. Acupuncture is the oldest continuously practiced medical system in the world, and is used by nearly one-third of the world as a primary health care system and many more as an adjunctive therapy. The fundamental principles of acupuncture are to treat the person as a whole in body, mind and spirit. It is an integrated treatment used to remedy the root cause of illness and disease, not only the symptoms.
