I've been practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 20 years. I've owned two successful practices, now practicing in Sedona, Az, for the past 15 years. I treat each person individually, using well honed skills of pulse and tongue diagnosis. I focus on the root of problems as well as the symptoms. I've been voted by my community "Best" in both practices I've had the privilege of heading. With 20 years experience and over 18 years in private practice, I offer in depth, thorough, professional and caring treatment.
Acupuncture in 85003 - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. 85003 acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
