Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in China more than 2,500 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, overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi (energy) flow through the pathways of your body (meridians). Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile (single-use) needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve Qi flow. Just like gardening, providing the right environment and appropriately managing Qi flow allows life to flourish as It inherently knows how.
The many benefits of acupuncture include:
- Pain and stress management
- Holistic body-mind integration
- Increased energy levels & metabolic integrity
- Stronger digestion, immunity, & sleep patterns
- Relief from bad habits and wasteful thinking patterns
- Greater sense of overall health and well-being
- Homeostatic balance and stamina
- Hormonal, lymphatic, & integumentary management
- Detoxification pathway restoration & autoimmune disorder help
- Pre-surgery preparation and Post-surgical recovery (please consult your MD for specific recommendations)
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is a 2,000 year old tradition using naturally occurring herbal combinations to enhance one's health and vitality. The foundation of this approach is to support the body's innate self-healing abilities.
Each patient has different herbal needs at different times, so we cooperate in selecting a combination 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. These formulas are mostly prescribed in capsule, tablet, or liquid form. Other nutritional supplements, topicals, and natural cosmetic products are available to order.
Herbal consultations are billed by the time taken to consult and prescribe either virtually or in-person. If you are in the office receiving an acupuncture treatment, we may handle accompanying prescriptions during your session. In this case, you will not be billed separately for consultation, just the acupuncture plus the cost of your chosen products. If more time is needed for comprehensive evaluation, or products for family members, we will schedule a separate appointment time to consult in-person, online, or over the phone.
