Dr. Erika Horowitz, SOMA Acupuncture and Natural Health Clinic (San Francisco, CA)

1615 20th Street San Francisco, CA

One of the fundamental principles in naturopathic medicine is "First do no harm;" accordingly, I understand that a key concept in healing is to identify the cause of disease rather than simply treat or suppress the symptoms. I believe strongly in the connection between mind, body and spirit. The human body has an inherent vital ability to heal itself with the support of appropriate noninvasive therapies. This approach requires treating the whole person, not just the disease. I respect my patients for the unique, dynamic, ever-changing individuals they are. My goal as your health care provider is to truly listen to your needs and concerns, so I can effectively address your immediate health care issues and provide long-lasting results.

Breast Thermography

    

Digital breast thermography, or Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI), is a noninvasive screening procedure that detects and records infrared heat emissions from the breast. The visual image, or thermogram, maps variations in skin temperature that may indicate underlying vascular, muscular and neural disease. DITI is especially useful for detecting early lesions before they otherwise become clinically evident.
