Hello-- I am a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist practicing in San Antonio. My approach is to address the acute issues while working to resolve any underlying causes and move toward optimum health. I use a variety of acupuncture styles- traditional Chinese acupuncture, 5-element, Richard Tan's balance method, Koryo(Korean hand therapy), and Auricular therapy in addition to Chinese herbs and techniques to use at home to get the best possible results for the patient. When acute and chronic issues are adequately dealt with, enhanced long term health and well being are the reward.
I work successfully with acute and chronic pain of all kinds. Chinese Medicine also has good solutions for Women's health issues fertility to menopause, gastro-intestinal issues, allergies, and high blood pressure.
I use a combination of the traditional diagnostic methods that have been refined over thousands of years and modern approaches(electrical meridian imaging0 to get the most compleat picture of the patients condition and how to resolve it.
