Acupuncture Print E-mail
Acupuncture is the insertion of very thin, virtually painless needles through the skin.  The points chosen during a treatment are tailored to your needs and desired effect. Specific points have been proven to be effective for the treatment of specific health issues.  The Chinese have mapped these points over the past 2,000 years.  Electromagnetic research has verified the existence and location of these powerful points.
 
Chinese Herbal Therapy Print E-mail
Chinese Herbal formulas have been proven to be effective in the treatment of many different health issues.  Herbs are generally taken in one of three ways; a decoction where you take the herbs home and cook them yourself, powdered herbs that you mix in hot water to make a tea, and patent formula pills, capsules, and tinctures.  I mostly use pills and capsules in my practice, though if we are working on something very specific for you, I will prescribe a custom powdered herbal tea.   Formulas are easy to take and compatible with most other forms of medication with minimum risk of side effects.  Almost all of the formulas used today have been used with success for hundreds of years.
 
Chinese Therapeutic Massage Print E-mail
Tuina is a Chinese massage that focuses on certain complaints.  It is typically deep and specific to an area of pain.  By targeting specific muscle groups, muscles can more easily relax and blood flow increases to the area.  Common problems treated with tuina are sciatic pain, shoulder pain, tension headaches, back pain, stiff neck, and plantar fasciitis.

There are many things that we can be doing in our every day life that can make us feel better.  Relaxation, exercise, stretching, and diet are major players in our health and cannot be overlooked if we want the most out of our healing process.  Depending on our constitution, certain foods act as medicine, and some act as poison for our bodies.  Eating the best foods possible for us helps us to feel our best.
