Caring For Life
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. We focus on you as if it was our own family.
Welcome to BomaMed
BOMAMED was established by husband and wife Chinese Medical practitioners Boaz Brizman, M.T.O.M., L.Ac. and Matia Brizman, Ph.D, L.Ac. in 1997. They have dedicated almost three decades of their life to the service of people challenged with difficult to treat medical conditions. Considered, number one in their field, they are most well known for their expertise in the treatment of Interstitial Cystitis and the way in which they approach this complex issue through the healing of the GUT microbiome. They were correlating the connection between the GUT and the Bladder in the early 2000’s far before others in the filed of urology were acknowledging its relevance. Because of this approach, their work encompasses the treatment of the many ailments that often accompany Interstitial Cystitis (IC) such as asthma, allergies, SIBO, chronic gastrointestinal disorders, chronic vaginal disorders, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic migraines and low immune function. To learn more about our work with IC and other chronic autoimmune disorders, please visit ICAMA.org, BOMASENSE.com, and ICAMA YouTube Channel.
Over the years they have also come to treat many children, helping parents to be proactive in their children’s health. This includes dietary work, preventive care and the treatment of colds, flus and other more serious childhood illnesses. In addressing any person’s problems, they are treating holistically, so that the patient’s health will improve from head to toe. This approach by its nature contributes to the regulation of weight, immune function, hormonal function, emotional well-being, etc. This is truly a family practice – family treating families with the goal to offer Chinese medicine in a western setting, thereby bridging the gap between western and eastern clinical philosophy, and offer a place where compassion and patience finds its place on a daily basis instead of the hurried bedside manner often found in many doctors offices today.

A HUSBAND AND WIFE CARE TEAM
Boaz brings his wealth of experience in treating many various gastrointestinal and auto-immune disorders to the work of IC and IC related conditions such as vulvadynia, chronic UTIs, fibromyalgia, IBS, etc. His work with chronic illness has been transformative. His unique ability to communicate the art of Chinese medicine enhances his “bedside manner” with his patients making him a very unique practitioner that people find it hard not to relate to and be comforted by–both adults and children. He helps patients transform their health in all areas including immune function, energy, mood, mental clarity and physical ability. His approach is comprehensive and effects all aspects of a person’s health and well-being.
She was the first in her field to focus on the GUT as it relates to IC early in her career and the greater medical field is increasingly recognizing and discussing the link between digestive health and other chronic disorders.
Matia specializes in the treatment of gastroenterological and urogenital disorders, with an emphasis on Interstitial Cystitis with the associated conditions such as vulvadynia, IBS, and other auto-immune conditions that often accompany Interstitial Cystitis.
WHAT IS CHINESE MEDICINE?
Chinese medicine provides help for various medical conditions, by supporting all aspects of the human body – physical, mental and emotional.
Chinese medicine works through the concept of bringing the body back to a homeostatic state through a system which recognizes various states of imbalance. Since the West has also begun to embrace alternative kinds of healing therapies, Chinese medicine has become an accepted medical modality in most of the United States recognizing the wide spectrum of diseases that are treatable via this aspect of alternative medicine.
Many conditions respond to the application of the whole body balancing techniques that Chinese medicine provides. Often practitioners of Chinese medicine have general practices, whereas others may choose to specialize, even though they are still taking an holistic approach to the human body.
The most important aspect of Chinese medicine is the ability to not only treat disease but to promote HEALTH. There is a big difference between not being sick and being healthy. Chinese medicine can help optimize your health and wellbeing – helping you become the best that you can be. We have been practicing the integrative methods that we have developed for 27 years.
OUR HEALTH SERVICES
We Have An Individualized Approach
CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS
At BOMAMED, we specialize in Chronic Health Conditions working with diet, lifestyle, and natural supplemention. Our focus is based on GUT health. Metaphorically, we describe the GUT as the trunk of the tree and the branches the symptoms emanating from the relative balance or imbalance of the trunk. We apply this approach to most chronic health challenges. Our system is comprised on a combination of Classical Chinese medicine philosophy and our unique integrated approach that was developed through our years of clinical practice. The focus of our practice is Interstitial Cystitis, and because those having one chronic health condition more often than not have two or more, we treat other chronic conditions as well such as chronic bladder infections, fibromyalgia, chronic bowel disorders, chronic skin conditions, menstrual irregularities, chronic vaginal infections, chronic viral infections, migraines, and many others.
ACUTE HEALTH CONDITIONS
In addition to chronic health care, we treat the common acute conditions that come up in every day life such as viral or bacterial infections and other transient issues one may experience. We teach our patients a different approach to the standard methods of these common health challenges. We also help to build the immune system to help prevent the occurence of frequent viral and/or bacterial infections. Our approach is unique and very effective. This also includes optimizing your child’s health from birth on, giving the child a better opportunity to prevent future chronic health conditions that may have otherwise developed.
ANTI-AGING AND HEALTH OPTIMIZATION
We offer a different perspective regarding the idea that one falls apart slowly with age. It is possible to continue to feel great with lots of energy and look great with beautiful hair, skin and nails. You can functions at 100% with your mind and mood. We can help you make the changes necessary to redirect your health for you to live a happier, healthier, more vibrant, and younger looking life even into your very, very late years. There is no reason that you cannot exude health until it’s time to move on to whatever is next.
The ICAMA is our foundation dedicated to educating the IC community about the treatment of chronic inflammatory and immune conditions and its relationship to the gut and immune system.
