What is 'True Recovery'? The Philosophy Behind SOZO Integrative Wellness

Many people believe that recovery simply means the temporary disappearance of pain or symptoms. However, at SOZO Integrated Wellness Center in Torrance, California, we define recovery from a much deeper perspective. Our center's name, "SOZO," comes from the concept of "making whole," "saving," and "restoring to a state of complete health."

True healing goes beyond simply being free from illness; it signifies a holistic state where the body, mind, and spirit are in perfect harmony. Dr. Haley combines the ancient wisdom of Eastern medicine with the precision of modern functional medicine to create an environment where our bodies can utilize their innate healing abilities.

At SOZO, we focus on the "why." Through functional medicine testing, we identify the root causes of hormonal imbalances or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. We then address these root causes through acupuncture and personalized nutrition programs. This is the core of our data-driven, integrative approach to healing.

We aim to be the most trusted wellness partner in the Torrance and South Bay communities. SOZO strives to be more than just a symptom-treating clinic; we are your partner on your journey towards holistic health in all aspects of your life.
