Recovering from an injury isn’t always a straight line—and it’s rarely about just one solution.

At The Center for Integrative Care, we specialize in helping patients recover faster and more completely by combining holistic care with whatever treatments they may already be receiving. Whether you’re coming from surgery, chiropractic care, or physical therapy, we focus on how your body is responding—and what it needs next.

Watch our latest video to learn how we integrate natural healing into the recovery process:

Here are a few ways we support injury recovery:

  1. Acupuncture to reduce pain and inflammation
  2. Soft tissue therapy to restore mobility
  3. Guided movement to support strength and balance
  4. Personalized strategies to match your healing timeline

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. The key is listening to your body and responding with the right tools at the right time.

If you’re recovering from an injury and want a personalized approach that works with your body, we’re here to help.

Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, your body just won’t bounce back? Maybe you’re dealing with lingering pain, fatigue, or slow recovery from stress.

You’re not alone—and there’s a reason for it. When your nervous system is stuck in “fight or flight” mode, healing takes a back seat. At The Center for Integrative Care, we help patients shift out of survival mode so their body can finally start to repair and restore.

Watch our latest video now to learn why stress blocks healing—and what you can do to support your nervous system:

Here are 3 simple ways to begin resetting your system:

  1. Deep breathing – Slow, deep breaths help signal safety to your nervous system.
  2. Quiet moments – Build in short pauses during your day to lower stress signals.
  3. Gentle movement – Try walking, stretching, or tai chi to calm the body without overloading it.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in stress, start by choosing one small habit today. Every step toward balance helps your body shift back into healing mode.

At The Center for Integrative Care, we offer personalized care to help reset your nervous system—combining acupuncture, guided imagery, and holistic therapies to support recovery.

We often associate “flow” with athletes or artists, but the flow state is something your body naturally knows how to access—and it plays a powerful role in healing.

We all have habits we’re aware of—but it’s the ones we don’t notice that often have the biggest impact on our health.

In the first 3 videos of this 7-part series, Dr. Mancini introduces the concept of core habits: the unconscious behaviors that run in the background of our daily lives. These patterns can influence how we feel, how we heal, and how we respond to stress—without us even realizing it.

Each video is under a two minutes and gives you a simple insight to help you become more aware of the patterns that may be running in the background of your life:

🔹 Part 1 – What Shapes Your Health Most
🔹 Part 2 – Are You Operating on Auto-Pilot?
🔹 Part 3 – The First Step to Lasting Change



When you become more aware of these automatic habits, you give yourself the power to shift them—and that’s where real healing begins.

Stay tuned for next week’s blog post where we’ll share the rest of the series—focusing on how stress patterns affect healing, and what to do about it.

If you’re ready to shift long-standing patterns and take back control of your health, we’re here to help. Call (619) 287-4005 to schedule your consultation now!
