Dr. Borsa is a Naturopathic Doctor, a licensed primary care physician with a specialized focus in preventative medicine and the treatment of acute and chronic conditions using natural therapeutics.  The initial consultation usually lasts 1 1/2 to 2 hours and its' focus is to obtain a full medical history.  From that point, the doctor will choose treatment based on the individual patient.  Treatment approaches include herbal medicine, homeopathy, clinical nutrition, hydrotherapy, Chinese Medicine, and pharmaceutical medication, if necessary.

Acupuncture is the ancient Chinese method of healing.  It is used to regulate or correct the flow of qi "vital energy" in the "meridians or channels" of the body to restore health.  An imbalance in the flow of qi throughout a meridian is how disease begins.  The treatment includes the insertion of fine, sterile needles to specific acupoints on the body to restore the balance to the flow of qi.
