What Lisa experienced in China 30 years ago is now happening right here in Walton County. 🌿

While studying in China, Lisa Forsythe saw firsthand how Eastern and Western medicine could work together to care for the whole patient.

Today, that integrative approach is becoming part of care within major hospital systems across the United States, and it’s at the heart of what we do every day at Tortoise Clinic.

Modern medicine.
Time-honored therapies.
One approach centered around you.

From years of severe sciatic pain to playing tennis as much as she wants. 🎾

After living with significant pain for years, this patient began neuroacupuncture at Tortoise Clinic. Over several months of consistent treatment, she says her symptoms have significantly improved, and she’s back on the tennis court doing something she loves without the limitations she once faced.

Her story is a powerful reminder of what regaining function and quality of life can mean.

Every patient and condition is different, but if chronic pain has been keeping you from the things you love, neuroacupuncture may be worth exploring.

📞 Give us a call at 850.267.5611 to learn more and see if neuroacupuncture may be right for you.

You may have seen the Galleri® test in the news this week. 🩸

WJHG-TV recently shared an Associated Press story about the Galleri Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test, which uses a single blood draw to look for signals associated with more than 50 types of cancer, including many that do not currently have recommended routine screening tests.

And yes, Galleri is available right here at Tortoise Clinic.

Through October 2, we’re offering the Galleri test for just $799 (regularly $1,249).

The Galleri test does not diagnose cancer and is intended to complement, not replace, recommended cancer screenings. If a cancer signal is detected, additional testing is needed to determine whether cancer is present.

If this week's news has you wondering whether Galleri may be right for you, give us a call. We’re happy to help you learn more.

✨ Galleri Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test: $799
🩸 Simple blood draw
✓ No fasting
✓ No insurance required
✓ No need to be an established Tortoise Clinic patient

Special pricing ends October 2.

📞 Call 850.267.5611 to reserve your test today.

Those circles you see after cupping? There’s a lot more happening beneath the surface. ⭕️

Cupping is a traditional Chinese Medicine therapy used to promote blood and lymphatic circulation and help reduce inflammation throughout the body.

While many people associate cupping with sore muscles, its uses extend far beyond post-workout recovery. Cupping may be incorporated into treatment for concerns including:

🌿 Musculoskeletal pain
🌿 Cough, asthma and respiratory concerns
🌿 Constipation
🌿 Menstrual discomfort
🌿 Cold and flu symptoms
🌿 Recovery following facial paralysis or stroke
🌿 And more

And cupping isn't one-size-fits-all. Depending on your needs, treatment may include stationary, moving, flash, needle, or wet cupping, allowing your practitioner to personalize the technique as part of your overall care.

Curious what cupping could do for you? Experience this time-tested therapy for yourself. Call 850.267.5611 or visit TortoiseClinic.com to book your appointment today.
