Dr. Lawrence Taw has developed a clinical program to deal with inflammatory diseases. The Inflammation Program consists of treatment and education packages. The goal is to treat patients with medical conditions such as:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Multiple sclerosis
• Eczema
• Lupus
• Asthma

The therapeutic modalities used include any of the following: acupuncture, trigger point injections, acupressure-style massage as well as educational counseling regarding nutritional and lifestyle changes and self-massage.

Dr. Taw also offers an education seminar on inflammatory diseases that covers important related topics including: a comprehensive integrative East-West Medicine perspective; Chinese Medicine nutrition; the anti-inflammatory diet; supplement use; the mind-body connection; stress management; and tips on exercise and sleep, with enough time set aside for questions and answers.

The three-hour educational seminar costs $150 with pre-registration and $180 for same-day registration. Seating is limited. Reserve early to ensure admission.
