Holistic Medicine in Flushing & Manhattan, NY
At Ma Kao Rehabilitation in Flushing, Queens and Manhattan, NY, we believe that true healing goes beyond treating symptoms — it requires understanding and addressing the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
Dr. Keyan Ma and Dr. Daniel Kao bring decades of combined experience in both conventional medicine and holistic healing traditions, offering patients a truly integrative approach to health and wellness.
What Is Holistic Medicine?
Holistic medicine is an approach to healthcare that treats the whole person rather than just an isolated condition or set of symptoms. It combines evidence-based conventional medicine with complementary and alternative therapies to address the root causes of illness, promote long-term wellness, and empower patients to take an active role in their health journey.
Our physicians are uniquely qualified to bridge both worlds — applying rigorous medical training alongside decades of experience in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and natural healing.

Our Holistic Treatment Modalities
Acupuncture & Acupressure
Rooted in over 3,000 years of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture stimulates the body's natural healing mechanisms, reduces inflammation, relieves pain, and promotes overall balance. Dr. Daniel Kao is a certified acupuncturist, and Dr. Keyan Ma has practiced acupuncture for over 40 years.
Physical Therapy
Therapeutic movement is a cornerstone of holistic care. Our physical therapy programs restore strength, flexibility, and function — reducing pain through natural, drug-free methods.
Manual Therapy & Acupressure
Hands-on techniques that release tension, improve circulation, and restore alignment to joints and soft tissues — working with the body's own structure to promote healing.
Mind-Body Integration
We incorporate stress reduction, breathing techniques, and mindfulness approaches to address the psychological dimensions of chronic pain and illness — recognizing that mental well-being is inseparable from physical health.
Nutritional & Lifestyle Guidance
Our physicians provide personalized guidance on diet, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications that support healing and long-term health — including advice grounded in both Western nutritional science and Traditional Chinese Medicine principles.
Regenerative Medicine
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the body's own healing cells to repair damaged tissues — a cutting-edge application of the holistic principle of letting the body heal itself.
