Wellness centers: a plain-language guide
Wellness centers and integrative clinics bring several practitioners under one roof, such as massage, acupuncture, nutrition, counseling and movement, so you can combine approaches in one place.

People often choose a wellness center for convenience and for a team that coordinates care.
