The main objectives of acupuncture treatment are relieving pain and other symptoms, strengthening the immune system, and balancing, harmonizing and integrating the functions of the internal organs with each other, making for a unified, healthy person, rather than a collection of fragmented, disharmonious parts. Oriental Medicine addresses and seeks to find the root or the cause of the problem rather than just merely treating the manifestations of various symptoms.
Acupuncture increases the blood circulation to the area where the fine tiny needles are inserted. With increased circulation of blood the muscles relax, and they become tightened.

In my years of practice, dozens have come to me from Western doctors, unsatisfied or discouraged by Western medicine. I hope to offer an alternative means of diagnosis and treatment, helping those with little hope for their health. Building off of the traditions of Chinese medicine thousands of years old and combining their techniques with modern medicine, it is my desire to aid those with mysterious or difficult conditions. Treatment begins with the patient's desire to become better and I can facilitate this desire both in the clinic and on the phone.

"It's so easy to think of the medical world in terms of boxes: the "Western Medicine" box, the "Alternative Medicine" box, etcetera. To me there is no box; only infinite solution potentials. I work with my patients in a close, intimate way; they become a partner in their own healing and they help guide the process. It is relatively easy to get the "quick fix" for a health challenge - but the why of the problem is what is most critically important. I am relentlessly committed to finding out the why, and moving towards true healing.

Acupuncture in Los Angeles - 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. Los Angeles 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.
