Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 3,000 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine available anywhere.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi flow. The many benefits of acupuncture include:
Electroacupuncture is a highly effective holistic treatment for pain, nausea, and chronic ailments. In practice, it is actually very similar to traditional acupuncture. Using the exact same system of Chinese Medicine, I insert very thin and sterile needles into specific points along the meridians of your body. I then attach the needles to a device that delivers gentle electrical pulses between two points. This helps restore the healthy flow of Qi (energy) through your body, removing any blockages and clearing out stagnant areas, thus creating a stronger and clearer experience of health and well-being.
Laser Acupuncture is a synthesis of the ancient wealth of experience of traditional Chinese medicine and modern technical achievements. It brings the 'best of both world' by integrating ancient wisdom with modern technological engineering to provide a acupuncture therapy with the use of a focused point laser instead of a metal needle to treat a variety of ailments. Laser Acupuncture is a safe and non-invasive alternative with low-level laser energy beams on specific acupuncture points of your body to unblock and restore the healthy flow of vital energy (Qi) through the energetic pathways (meridians) of your body.
Some of the many benefits of laser acupuncture include:
Cupping has been a part of Chinese Medicine for over 3,000 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body, and then use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall sense of health and well-being.
Chinese herbal medicine is a 3,000 year old tradition using naturally occurring substances — including herbs — to enhance one's health and vitality. As opposed to Western medicine, the foundation of this approach is to support the body's natural self-healing mechanisms and abilities.
Since each patient has different needs, I carefully select and combine a variety of herbs that will synergistically blend together to achieve optimal results for your unique situation. I prescribe high-quality, professional-grade herbal medicines that are available only to qualified licensed professionals.
Integrative Nutrition emphasizes the fact that "Food is Medicine".
It integrates the principles of traditional nutrition guidelines and functional nutrition to provide a more individualized approach to eating and living. It is a blend of nutrition therapies that follows the concept of what the IIN (Institute for Integrative Nutrition) calls -- Bio-Individuality -- which recognizes and honors the uniqueness of your 'biological being' as the person that you are. Integrative Nutrition considers evidence-based practices and considers a predominantly 'Whole Foods, Plant-Based' approach to help address your Bio-Individuality. This practice looks beyond symptoms to investigate the root cause of your health issues and considers psychological, physiological, and environmental factors along with other non-nutritional components which contribute to your health.
