PAIN MANAGEMENT
Pain is your body’s signal that a deeper health issue needs to be addressed. Traditional Chinese Medicine is uniquely effective in treating pain and promoting overall well-being. Acupuncture needles stimulate the nervous system, increase circulation and release endorphins, supporting your body to release its internal healing energies and relieve the underlying distress. Some of the painful conditions I treat include:
-
Pain from Accidents and Injuries
-
Neck and Back Pain
-
Joint Pain (knees, hips, shoulders, elbows)
-
Sciatica
-
Headaches and Migraines
-
Arthritis
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
-
Fibromyalgia
-
TMJ
FERTILITY
Acupuncture and other modalities of TCM have helped many people achieve a healthy pregnancy accessibly and without side-effects. If you are trying to conceive with assisted means such as Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET), Donor Egg Transfer (DET), or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Acupuncture can help. Both on its own and in complement with Western pharmaceutical-based approaches, Acupuncture directs your body's energy flow to the reproductive organs, as well as improving stress-resistance, all of of which has been shown to:
-
Improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
-
Support ovarian function and improve egg quality
-
Encourage regular ovulatory cycles and healthy embryo implantation
-
Improve pregnancy and live birth rates, and reduce chances of miscarriage
-
Increase the thickness and quality of the endometrial lining
-
Support a healthy luteal phase
-
Regulate hormonal imbalances​
WOMEN'S HEALTH
Experience has shown that many women’s health issues and symptoms appear to be effectively treatable with Acupuncture, such as hormonal imbalance, premenstrual cramps and hot flashes, and recovery from C-Sections and difficult births, where improvement in overall well-being can be seen after just a few treatment sessions. More serious conditions, including PCOS, endometriosis, premature ovarian failure, and postpartum health, may take multiple treatments to resolve. I will work with you to develop and put into practice a tailored treatment plan which tackles the symptoms as only one of many other integrated aspects of your health. I will teach you to eat, sleep, and breathe differently, and I will show you how stress and negative emotions can affect and trigger your body’s physiological response. Let me help you unlock your inner healing potential.
FACIAL REJUVENATION
Want to improve your appearance in a natural, drug-free way? Cosmetic acupuncture is specifically designed to focus on facial skin care, and has become a very popular treatment recommended by dermatologists. Stimulation of specific acupuncture points on your face, especially when combined with other traditional Chinese beauty techniques such as cupping and gua sha massage with specialized shaped tools, is designed to rejuvenate dull, aging skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and treat the symptoms of acne, rosacea, and other skin conditions, while at the same time improving circulation and redirecting the flow of energy. It takes just a few sessions to look and feel your best.
INTERNAL MEDICINE
Traditional Chinese wellness philosophy holds that all health issues are related to energy imbalances in the internal organs, and treatment modalities address symptoms and disorders by seeking to restore balance and harmony to the whole body. Acupuncture and TCM are particularly effective at restoring gut-brain balance, an important energy nexus which affects the endocrine and immune systems and plays a significant role in regulating your physical vitality and emotional well-being. Together with appropriate diet and lifestyle changes, I can help you reduce or eradicate many internal disorders, including:
-
Digestive and Gastrointestinal Problems
-
Respiratory Problems
-
Seasonal Allergies
-
Autoimmune Disorders
-
Symptoms arising from Poor Circulation.
WELLNESS
Modern society produces stress in unprecedented ways. Our relationships, careers, finances, even our daily commutes, all put stressors on the body and mind, which can trigger negative physiological responses, weakening the immune system and increasing the severity and duration of many diseases. Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques and philosophy can be the millennia-old antidotes to these modern problems. Through Acupuncture, breathing techniques, and lifestyle counseling, I can help you control anxiety, improve sleep, process emotions productively, and even lose weight and improve immune response.
MEN'S HEALTH
Because of its holistic, mind/body approach, Acupuncture can treat a variety of men’s health conditions at every stage of life, even when nothing else works. Acupuncture balances and directs circulation to parts of the body which may be deficient, but that only addresses part of the problem. Other factors, such as burnout, stress, physical exhaustion, or poor eating and sleep habits have just as much, if not more, influence over such conditions as hypertension, prostate problems, erectile dysfunction and falling libido. Traditional Chinese stress reduction techniques, breathing exercises, and lifestyle changes, together with Acupuncture, can keep you feeling younger, more energized, and ready to take on the day.
