State-of-the-art healthcare center now in Cebu

Intercare Healthcare Systems, the country’s pioneering and leading integrated healthcare facility, marked its 13th year of service with the opening of its fourth Philippine branch in uptown Cebu City recently.

Guests of honor were Department of Tourism Secretary Joseph "Ace" Durano, Presidential Management Staff director general Serge Remonde, represented by his wife Marit Remonde, and Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia. Coincidentally, Secretary Durano delivered a convincing testimony of his personal experience with Intercare. Governor Garcia eloquently expressed her faith and confidence in the multi-disciplinary approach to healthcare and wellness. Likewise, Marit Remonde gave a statement on behalf of her husband certifying that the treatment successfully eliminated the need for invasive surgery.

Founding partners doctors Armando Soto and Martin Camara, both graduates of the Palmer Chiropractic Center in San Jose, California, have created a superb team of specialists, therapists, and instructors to assist patients with different pain concerns to make them feel better by directing them to a state of natural balance, thus empowering them to live a pain- free life. Notable doctors include Serry Pizarro, a chiropractic specialist certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners-United States of America, and Ferdinand Decena, a rehabilitation medicine practitioner who specializes in back stabilization programs and sports-specific conditioning programs, mostly involving treatments of problems associated with the knee, shoulder, and arm.

Intercare integrates traditional and medically oriented models of care with alternative and complementing methods, such as chiropractic medicine, which deals with pain caused by unhealthy joints and muscles or even nerves that have been irritated; acupuncture, an ancient Chinese health art that aims at helping restore balance to one’s body, which leads to a state of overall well-being; myotherapy, a muscle and relaxation therapy that reduces tension and pain, relaxes muscle spasms, improves circulation and alleviates pain; and the Alexander Technique, which is an intelligent way to solve the common movement problems that cause chronic pain and stress.

At the end of a most interesting evening, discussions were centered on how and when to avail of the wellness program that promises overall wellness, health, peace, and harmony.
