The Virtua Center for Integrative Medicine, located inside Virtua’s William G. Rohrer Center for HealthFitness, in Voorhees, is a holistic healthcare practice that combines conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary and alternative treatments that are recognized by the National Institutes of Health. These holistic therapies include acupuncture, biopuncture, homeopathy and a micro-current electrical neuromuscular stimulator. Each new patient receives an in-depth assessment to determine an appropriate, individualized treatment plan.

Polina Karmazin, who earned her medical degree in family medicine as well as board certifications in both integrative medicine and acupuncture, is a medical doctor and the center’s medical director. She has been practicing medicine in South Jersey for more than 20 years. With her passion for holistic healing, she was also awarded a diplomate in clinical homeopathy from the Center of Education and Development of Homeopathy. Karmazin is happy to collaborate with patients’ primary care physicians to provide cohesive care.

Managing acute and chronic pain without the harmful side effects of traditional pain medications is one of Karmazin’s specialties. Alternative therapies have proven effective in relieving pain caused by conditions including arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, herniated discs, muscle strains, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) and tendonitis. Karmazin is certified to employ advanced biopuncture techniques, which are steroid-free injections of natural, FDA-approved homeopathic remedies that stimulate the body’s healing process to treat pain, swelling, inflammation and toxin accumulation. Over time, many patients are able to drastically decrease their reliance on pain medications.

The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture in the treatment of digestive, neurological and muscular disorders, as well as respiratory issues and urinary and menstrual problems. With her board certification in acupuncture, Karmazin is qualified to use acupuncture to treat pain and all of these other disorders.

Virtua offers additional services to balance and heal the body and spirit. Traditional and alternative spa services are provided at Vir tú Spas located in Moorestown and Washington Township. Virtua also provides comprehensive nutritional counseling by registered dieticians and individualized fitness programs to help you reach your personal wellness goals. Three medically integrated Centers for HealthFitness are located in Voorhees, Moorestown and Washington Township.
