"If Conventional Medical Treatments and Prescription Drugs Have FAILED to Restore Your Health and Vitality..."
Fort Lauderdale Acupuncturist Filiz Bakir, AP, DOM
Hello, my name is Filiz Bakir. I’m an Acupuncture Physician specializing in holistic treatments that aim to restore your health and vitality. I blend the ancient wisdom of the East with the open and inquisitive mind of the West to design safe, effective, and break-through treatment strategies to meet your individual needs and goals.
Welcome to my website! Here you will find information about the kind of medicine I practice. While I specialize in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a natural and effective medicine with a 3000 year history, I also incorporate other modalities like Homeopathy, Functional Medicine, Injection Therapy, Bodywork and a number of needleless Acupuncture Techniques.
If you have never tried Acupuncture, you should know that:
- More than 8 Million Americans have used Acupuncture
- Growing numbers have sought out acupuncturists for chronic pain and health problems when conventional medicine either hasn’t worked nor has answers
- The NIH and World Health Organization have both given formal approval of certain uses of acupuncture.
- Medical doctors refer their patients to acupuncturists more than any other “alternative” care provider
- 51% of medical doctors believe acupuncture to be efficacious and of value
