About Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine 
​

Chinese Medicine is an integrative medicine--a complete medical system--that works by balancing your body's nervous system and restoring homeostasis. This medicine can be useful to conditions both acute and chronic. They are holistic and comprehensive approaches. Treatment plans typically start at 6-10 treatments for acute conditions and may continue for more chronic conditions. My goal is to help patients regain function so they can enjoy healthy and vital lifestyles. 

Chinese Medicine includes:
Acupuncture, Herbal prescriptions, Vitamins and Supplements, muscular release, cupping and guasha, moxabustion and heat therapy, Electrical stimulation, Nutritional Therapy, auricular beads and seeds.
