When East Meets West

So Saturday I was working on an appointment who has chronic urinary track infections. She is a very sweet girl who has had multiple tests to analyze her urine, kidney function and bladder. She has had complete blood counts done to look for other means of infection and profiles run to check the integrity of her organs as well as x-rays done to look at her from another angle.
The owner was concerned for her pet, as would any one, and wanted to know what we could do for her girl at this point. This is when the doctor recommended acupuncture! Her explanation to the puzzled owner really summed it up for me in a way that I hadn't really thought about before.
She explained that there is a reason for both Western (holistic) and Eastern (tests/antibiotics ect). They both work together. Just like the sun and the moon. Where one stops the other takes over. What most doctors like to do is exhaust all possible means under Eastern treatment; run tests and take x-rays and give antibiots and NSAIDS.
Where the East ends the West can pick up. It focouses on blance. Which is perfect. The accupuncture tries to re-focous energy and create healthy levels in every area of the body .
Using both modalities in medecine is the best way! Where you stop getting answers, or reach a wall, the other modality steps in and supplements the other.
