Each tradition and modality is explained within the Services tab.
It is our vision to integrate the oldest traditions like Acupuncture with some of the newest technology
coming out of Germany and the United States, as well as, recent innovations in laboratory test,
Supplements and Homeopathy.
We offer innovative, safe approaches to some of the most difficult conditions people endure like:
Depression, Anxiety, Pain, Inflammation, Obesity, Fatigue, Insomnia, Hypothyroidism, Adrenal Fatigue,
Lyme Disease, Menopause Symptoms, Erectile Dysfunction, Migraine Headaches and many others.
We also offer new and effective approaches to “Anti-Aging”, a new and emerging aspect of health care
dedicated to having a quality life. The focus is on looking and feeling your best while slowing down the
aging clock. Our stressful lives; the contamination of our food, water and air; the exposure to toxins and
poisons; and increasing financial burdens many of us carry all add up. We are available to support your
efforts to stay well.
The face most readily reflects the way we age. We also provide Facial Rejuvenation which has been
described as a “Face Lift” without surgery or needles. However, it is more than a cosmetic procedure.
Facial Rejuvenation improves: muscle tone, circulation of blood and energy, and tonifies the whole body
through the meridians in the face.
We manage pain through technology including: Acutron, Ondamed, standard Acupuncture, Auricular
Acupuncture, Herbs, Supplements and Homeopathy.
Perhaps one our most effective approaches is Bio-Energetic Endocrinology. This is a leading edge
integration of lab tests, food supplements, herbs, homeopathy and lifestyle modifications. We thoroughly
explore the many complexities of the endocrine system, digestive system and immune system. We offer
effective interventions without using drugs or hormones. Some of the most stubborn conditions can be
improved.
We invite you to complete our 1) questionnaire and 2) patient information forms, and fax or email them to

Vienna Complementary Medicine specializes in
INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE utilizing FUNCTIONAL/BIO-ENERGETIC
ENDOCRINOLOGY
This is a newly developed integration of Bio-chemistry and Energetic diagnosis and treatment. It is the integration of
Chinese Medicine (Herbs and Acupuncture), Homeopathy, Nutritional Supplements and life style adjustments.
The focus is the Endocrine system – the system of glands and hormones that are the bio-chemical nervous system of
the body. The endocrine glands are also major energetic centers and focal points, as well as, Chakra energetic
locations.
A Bio-Energetic Endocrinology approach differs from Western Medical Endocrinology. I paraphrase Dicken
Weatherby: Medicine and Health care are undergoing a paradigm shift. We are seeing more demand from patients to
look at their complex cases from a holistic approach rather than a mechanistic or reductionist perspective. In order to
do this, we need to have diagnostic methods that focus on physiologic function as a marker of health, rather than
merely the presence of pathology or tissue change as a marker of disease.
