About
PLEASE NOTE: if you are sending me a question, the more detail you can give about specifically what is wrong, what caused it, your diagnosis, and your health history, the better I am able to respond to your questions!!!
Anthony Lorenzo is an acupuncturist currently unlicensed and not practicing temporarily residing in St. Petersburg, Florida. Anthony Lorenzo evaluates and treats patients based on the concepts of oriental medicine. Acupuncturists complete their evaluations by getting a patient history and looking at and palpating areas of the body. Then, they place very fine acupuncture needles into specific points on the body (there are alternatives to needles for those who find them intolerable, though this is seldom the case). Stimulating these points is how Mr. Lorenzo treats the patients condition. Many of the bodys systems respond to acupuncture, and it can treat physical pain as well as emotional stress. Oriental medicine also incorporates using supplements and herbs, dietary consultations, lifestyle consultations, moxibustion, cupping, Tui-Na (Chinese massage and bodywork) and other modalities to help people achieve a state of greater health and balance.
