Looking for top-notch medical services that prioritize your well-being? Look no further! National Integrated Health Associates (NIHA) have been leaders in holistic & integrative medicine since 1995 serving the Washington D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia metropolitan area.
Holistic Integrative Medicine Since 1995
Our team of experienced physicians and integrative practitioners are dedicated to providing holistic health solutions tailored to your unique needs. As integrative and functional medicine doctors, they will first search for the root cause of disease or health issues or impediments to healing.
What is happening in your body for this health issue or dysfunction to occur? How can this be remedied?
The doctors view the body as whole, and instead of treating just symptoms, they combine traditional medicine with nutrition, lifestyle modifications, supplements, and safe, healing therapies from around the world in order to help you heal. Depending on the health condition, prescription drugs may be needed- but they may not be the first line of defense. Many of our doctors have been trained in other parts of the world, and bring fresh perspective to using all available therapies customized for each patient’s unique needs.
