The theory of Oriental Medicine says that anytime there is any pain, disorder or disease, one’s energy is stuck. So my goal is always to move my patient’s energy, using acupuncture needles, in an effort to rebalance their energy so their body can heal itself. The beauty of acupuncture is that it always treats our body, our mind and our emotions/spirit. They cannot be separated. So even if you come to see me for a sore shoulder, you will undoubtedly find that you feel calmer after the treatments as well. And in terms of Western medicine we know that the less stressed we are the better it is for our physical self. Similarly, if you come to see me for anxiety, you may find that your carpal tunnel goes away. Acupuncture works wonders in this way to rebalance us on all levels. I also incorporate Allergy Elimination - An energetic system that uses muscle testing, and sometimes acupuncture, to find and desensitize one to items that the body shows a negative response to.
