The ELEMENTS APPROACH

At Elements, our unique approach to health restoration is rooted in Integrative Natural Medicine, combining the wisdom of ancient medicine with the precision of modern science. For over 25 years, under the direction of Joel Thielen, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac., BCIM, we have refined a system of care that unites Oriental Medicine, advanced diagnostics, and innovative therapies.

We utilize state-of-the-art bioenergetic testing alongside proprietary diagnostic metrics to uncover the root causes of imbalance.  From there, we design individualized treatment plans that may also include Electroacupuncture Medicine, Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF), Frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy (FSM), Scrambler Therapy, DC Microcurrent, Vagal Nerve Therapeutics, Physical Therapies, Cellular Medicine, Auricular Laser Treatments,  Nutrition, and Lifestyle Medicine.

Each treatment plan is clear, concise and tailored to your unique needs-providing both structure and flexibility for your healing journey. Our goal is not only to address symptoms, but to guide you toward lasting restoration, resilience and renewal.

Through this integrative approach, we offer more than treatment – we offer direction in self-healing, helping you reclaim vibrancy, energy and a deeper sense of well-being for life.
