My title is Acupuncture Physician with an O.M.D. ( Oriental Medicine Doctorate ). However, I consider myself more of a practitioner of Integrative Medicine who uses Oriental Medicine as my primary healing tool. Oriental Medicine recognizes the body as a self-healing mechanism that can best heal if in homeostasis (balance.)
Chinese Medicine is about 5,000 years old. It is originally based on Taoist philosophy which speaks about the human body in terms of energy rather than matter. The ancient Chinese believed that a basis life energy called qi or chi is present in every living creature, and that it circulates along specific pathways in the body called meridians.
My daughter in law has scoliosis of the spine, I was wondering is acupuncture can help her with the back pain?. Of course the acupuncture won't straighten out a spine but if there are tight and spasmed muscles it can help that, at least temporarily. My husband has high blood pressure and the medication the Dr. prescribed has so many possible side effects he doesn't want to take it.
Integrating the best of modern technology, natural medicine, and empowerment of the patient to provide the best healthcare possible. A remarkable thing about this relatively compact book is how much information McLean manages to include in it without overwhelming the reader.
She summarizes the vast history of Western medicine - how we got from Mesopotamian healing, with its similarities to Chinese medicine, to the American system of corporate health care.

Dr.B is amazing! I have suffered migraines for YEARS! After my session with Dr. B I have had 2 migraines in almost 2 months. I was having them almost daily, taking preventatives, and onset meds. I have been medicine free now for 2 months. My husband is starting his treatment with her soon. Dr. Bonnie was very knowledgeable and really took the time to explain everything to me as I was very new to the entire acupuncture scene. I would recommended her to anybody wanting to try acupuncture or looking for a new Dr. Thank you Dr. Bonnie for giving me a quality of life back that I havent had since having

Dr. Bonnie Mclean is a passionate, intuitive, caring, wise and highly skilled practitioner. The results I receive after each treatment is mind blowing and life changing! I always feel so much better after seeing her for PTSD, depression, anxiety and shoulder pain from an old injury. She is so knowledgeable and genuinely cares. I have had acupuncture from many people and no one puts the needles in as gently as Dr. Bonnie. She is truly a gifted healer. Highly recommend!

I began seeing Bonnie 10 years ago or so when I lived in Pensacola. As a medical professional, I was skeptical and hesitant before my first acupuncture experience. The minute I met Bonnie however, my worries were eased. She is a kind, soothing, empathetic presence. She is respectful and professional in her care. Bonus: the severe hip pain I had been experiencing for months was also completely gone after a few visits with Bonnie!!! It's been years now since I moved but every time I visit my family in Pensacola I'm sure to book an appointment with Bonnie. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Bonnie has a unique gift, not only in Acupuncture, but in her wisdom in Eastern practices and healing. She has amazed me time and again with her aid in relieving my most serious chronic migraine attacks. Something traditional medicine in the Emergency Dept no longer even is able to help. I don't know what I would do without Dr. Bonnie's wisdom, compassion, and expertise in her field. I truly she why she is so highly regarded by our community..

I have been coming to Dr. Bonnie for 4 years now, and from my first visit I knew I had found a treasure. You instantly know you are in good hands when she flashes her warm smile and asks with bright eyes looking right at you "What can I help you with today?" This is a practitioner who spans the fields of western and eastern approaches to healing, from her Duke University RN days, to her world-class acupuncture training in California, to her exploration of shamanic healing, and prayer. When I arrived in Gulf Breeze four years ago I was completely spent from multiple moves in a short period of time

I brought my uncle to see Bonnie when he was going through cancer and he also went blind. It was supposed to be a mini acupuncture session but she worked on his whole body. He felt better almost immediately. Along with her therapy and more holistic approaches, my uncle is cancer free and he can see better now. Bonnie is a very caring, trustworthy ,and the best you will ever find.

Bonnie McLean is a warm, wonderful, dedicated and incredibly gifted healer. No matter what complaint brings me in, I always feel better - physically and emotionally - after seeing Bonnie. Several years ago she relieved my 30-something daughter’s chronic hip pain in three visits. The hip pain has never come back. Bonnie is a jewel in the Pensacola area alternative/adjunctive medicine community. We are fortunate to have her here.

I have seen Dr. Bonnie for a variety of issues over the past 8 years, and I am so grateful to her! Dr. Bonnie is everything I could ask for in a health care practitioner, she is compassionate, kind, knowledgeable, and an expert in the healing arts. Dr. Bonnie truly cares about her patients and it shows. Over the years I have turned to her time and again because her treatments are effective, she always seems to know what is needed no matter the condition or concern. I highly recommend Dr. Bonnie and the Baybridge Chiropractic Center for all of your well-being needs!
