Welcome to our website
While this website is built mainly for women, Synergy also provides
a full range of services to men, including hormone restoration,
wellness consults, acupuncture, massage therapy, and nutritional
consults.
Hampton Roads has some of the best physicians and medical clinics
in the state, but our health care system could still do better.
At Synergy, our women and men patients are experiencing wellness
and renewed energy from our integrative medical care, which goes
beyond traditional practices. We are blending the roles of traditional
and holistic medicine to provide improved care that has our patients
feeling better and enjoying their life to the fullest. |

We help individuals of all ages with menopause and andropause,
aging, hormone loss, stress, fatigue, emotional conditions,
muscle loss, arthritis, side effects of cancer treatment, sexual health
issues, digestive disorders, chronic
headaches, neck pain, low back pain, menstrual
problems, and more.
Our two co-founding doctors, Dr. Rebecca Ryder and Dr. Linda Long, have nearly five decades of combined experience and believe the future of medicine will integrate many different medical techniques. They also believe women and men shouldn't have to wait that long.
In 2007, the doctors founded in Chesapeake, Virginia, a breakthrough medical clinic that integrates mainstream medicine with complementary and alternative medicine. Patients who had been stuck in the mainstream cycle of less than optimal results are seeing the exciting rejuvenating effects of Synergy's care.
If you are suffering with health or aging problems, the solution may be our combination of modern and alternative medical therapies, which our patients love.
From to Optimal Aging to Medical Acupuncture to Herbal Medicine, our doctors and specialists integrate many different types of therapies for each individual patient.
Long before a patient gets sick or develops an illness, there are subtle symptoms and a decrease in functioning. At Synergy, we investigate the various causes of your illness or decreased functioning — including lifestyle, diet, stress, and emotions. We can guide you in making changes that lead to a better life, prevention of illness, and maintenance of your health and well-being.
The medical profession increasingly acknowledges the value of holistic, integrative and Eastern medical practices, but has been slow in providing them to people in need. We're here now, helping women and men throughout Hampton Roads, and would love to help you.
What does "Integrative Medicine" mean?
Integrative medicine combines traditional western (or allopathic) medicine
and complementary and alternative approaches, but does not replace conventional
therapy. It is used for managing symptoms, increasing quality of life,
and improving treatment efficiency.
Basic Principles of
Integrative Medicine
|
 |
A partnership between patient and practitioner in the
healing process. |
|
Appropriate use of conventional and alternative methods to facilitate
the body's innate healing response. |
|
Consideration of all factors that influence health, wellness and
disease, including mind, spirit and community as well as body. |
|
A philosophy that neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts
alternative medicine uncritically. |
|
Recognition that good medicine should be based in good science,
inquiry driven and open to new paradigms. |
|
Use of natural, less invasive interventions whenever possible. |
|
The broader concepts of promotion of health and the prevention of
illness as well as the treatment of disease. |
