Get The Best Treatment of Your Life!
Green Acupuncture
In 1998, the National Institute of Health (NIH) released a consensus statement that acupuncture may help low back pain, osteoarthritis, headache, fibromyalgia, tennis elbow, migraine, asthma, carpal-tunnel syndromes, dysmenorrhea, stroke rehabilitation, chemotherapy related nausea and vomiting, drug addictions, and other conditions that involve chronic pain.

In my practice, besides treating the above conditions, I specialize in women's health issues, such as infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PMS, irregular menstruation, polycystic ovaries, mental health (anxiety and depression), pregnancy, postpartum care, and menopause.

I use gentle techniques by using high quality disposable needles to reduce any discomfort associated with needling.
