I have been in practice for over 25 years and feel very confident in my ability to help alleviate pain through acupressure, acupuncture, movement therapies, cupping, and internal/external herbal remedies.
My approach to health is collaborative and holistic; I want to understand who you are and how the imbalance/pain/disease originated, so that we can help the body heal. I typically employ deep acupressure before doing acupuncture, a unique style, and use food, herbs and supplements to strengthen the body. I enjoy teaching people about the traditional oriental philosophy and methods, and also teach relaxation practices and yoga poses.

Cupping Acupuncturists
Cupping is an ancient practice that helps alleviate pain and soreness. A rounded glass cup is placed on the skin, and pressure is created within the cup.

If you're looking for help with cupping in El Cerrito or for an El Cerrito cupping acupuncturist these professionals provide cupping acupuncture. They include cupping therapy El Cerrito professionals, cupping acupuncture El Cerrito and cupping acupuncturists, as well as cupping for back pain, cupping for weight loss, and other pain relief cupping acupuncturist solutions.

Acupuncture in El Cerrito - 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. El Cerrito 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.
