Welcome! We invite you to experience the Forest Health Medical Center difference!

FHMC is different from either a general medical hospital or a large university medical center. We provide you with specialty surgery and personal care by the best specialty surgeons and staff.

Just like the major medical centers we have the latest modern equipment and facilities, but that is not what makes us different. The personal care you will receive is unlike the typical impersonal healthcare offered in most large university medical centers. At FHMC we are committed to caring for you as our family.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is used for various types of chronic pain. Specific points on the body are stimulated by inserting thin needles through the skin to regulate the flow of qi (vital energy) along nerve pathways. According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), acupuncture is a promising treatment for chronic low back pain and osteoarthritis of the knee.
