How can acupuncture reduce my mental stress?
YES! Acupuncture can help mentally and physically, simultaneously. The mind and body work as a zipper effect: one affects the other and both must be treated to fix the problem. While clearing your mind and alleviating the stress, the muscles that are holding onto the stress will also be relieved of the trauma, allowing for free flow of blood and qi (energy), which in turn keeps your stress level down.

My son has awful shoulder pain. How can I help him?
The problem is not for broken or abnormal bone settings, but in fact even a 5 degree shift of the bone's alignment can cause intense pain. If left untreated, at your son's age, the growth can be stunted in worse case scenarios. We have a special proprietary treatment called the DS Therapy that is popular with the high school, collegiate, and national athletes that we treat at my clinic. The DS Therapy address all bone structures, as well as promoting healthier blood circulation, rehabilitation, and physical growth. Your son should start to see results even just after 1-2 sessions.

How should I prepare for my acupuncture session?
Nothing special is needed in preparation for a session. But, please ask any and all questions you have of your acupuncturist. This is an intimate partnership of your health journey, and education is the key to making informed decisions of your life and health to naturally live well. READ MORE
Can acupuncture treat my digestive disorders?
No doubt in my mind. It's quite a vicious cycle for digestive disorders and medication. The medication could possibly be too strong for your GI system to handle at it's current condition. If you are currently taking prescriptions, acupuncture can be catered to strengthen the GI system, as well as addressing the main root cause of your digestive disorders. This will allow you to naturally live well, and get back to your desired quality of life. READ MORE
How can acupuncture help my lower back pain?
There are different possibilities for your back pain. Depending on an internal or external cause of pain, the treatment will vary. Each technique varies upon practitioner, but I practice traditional acupuncture, as well as having our own proprietary technique that has been passed down generations in my family. My aim is to get rid of the pain from the root, and not just "ease the pain" by addressing the symptoms. READ MORE
