Oriental medicine is part of their regime which include exercise, healthy diet, lifestyle, and emotions. They are committed to building their health and functioning at the optimum level.

Western medicine focuses on treating symptoms. Oriental medicine treats both the 'branches' and the 'root' of the disease. 'Branches' are the symptoms and 'root' is the cause. Chinese medical classics consider diet, lifestyle, and emotions the root of diseases. Treatments help you make positive changes in these areas.

If you are not familiar with acupuncture, it's natural to approach with skepticism. Acupuncture is not a religion: you don't have to believe in it to benefit from it. There is as much misformation about acupuncture in the media as accurate information. However, it is commonly agreed that acupuncture can benefit many conditions with few bad side effects. Disagreement centers around how it works. Critics think that acupuncture is just a placebo and not real medicine. I don't think so but even if it were, placebo treatments are wonderful if they are effective because they don't harm the patient.

Yes, I do. Acupuncture works at the energetic level of the body and so can benefit any condition. It can bring relief to symptoms, in many cases it can bring about a cure. It can also improve the quality of life in a profound way. Read about different conditions:

No, I only use sterile, single-use, disposable needles. It's a Federal regulation.

Needling sensation is not separate from the skill of the acupuncturist and the constitution of the patient. In my practice acupuncture is not painful. Tools and techniques are customized to the sensitivity and constitution of each individual patient to ensure comfort and relaxation. For children and adults who are energy or needle sensitive I use FDA approved painless needles, non-penetrative techniques or other methods of stimulation without needles. I will make sure that your treatment is completely comfortable.
