I have successfully completed post graduate training in orthopedics and subsequently developed powerful treatment for relieving pain and healing disc injuries of the neck and back. My extensive training and years of clinical experience in this specialty, result in excellent outcomes for a wide variety of neuromuscular conditions including: carpel tunnel, tendonitis and other joint injuries and neck and back pain. I have extensive training in allergy elimination to treat both airborne and food allergies. My thirty year of clinical experience has also given me confidence and knowledge to work with Women's health, digestion issues and habit control.

Acupuncture in 93449 - 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. 93449 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.
