Just as our actions are instrumental in our illnesses, we are the instruments of our own healing. As humans, we are composed of a body, mind and spirit. All contribute, in some way, to overall health. We provide the tools and foundation stones needed for sustained health by treating the whole person - physically, mentally and spiritually. We pursue, examine and provide the best of all medical therapies, regardless of origin, for the treatment of pain, disease and illness. We realize that treatment without understanding is not freedom and that education, both of the patient and health care provider, is the source of enduring health. The therapies offered at ALT-MED in Elk Grove Village address a wide range of medical and physical conditions. Therapies include: Energy Medicine, Massage Therapy, Medical Consultations, Oriental Medicine & Acupuncture, Physical Therapy, Vitamin Therapy, and Free Clinic. We treat the whole person, combing the best of alternative and traditional medicine, taking special note of nutrition, stress and daily activities as well as reviewing tests and radiology films. Because of the uniqueness of our practice, combing alternative and traditional medicine, Dr, Massey cannot operate as a Primary Care Physician (P*P). We recommend that our patients maintain their current P*P or seek out a P*P to handle their medical management. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, do not require a referral to visit our practice. Dr. Massey is a Medicare and Blue Cross/Blue Shield provider.
