I provide a holistic approach to wellness and take into consideration all aspects of health to make a proper diagnosis. In doing this I ensure that I treat the root cause of any symptom or disease. Symptoms shouldn't be distorted by medications but treated based on a persons individual needs and underlying imbalances to naturally create wellness. Stress can be a major factor in the development of disease as well as an aggravating factor that worsens virtually all conditions. I have several stress reducing techniques that I incorporate into my treatments that have proven extremely beneficial to reduce symptoms and improve health.
My specialty includes the treatment of pain associated with chronic neck and back tension caused by stress, overuse, or injury. I also specialize in neurological pain and radiation caused by disc compression, muscle tightness and spasm. I also focus on patients suffering from arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia.
I offer Cranial Sacral Therapy to patients when I feel that it's medically necessary. It works naturally with your nervous system to create a deep sense of relaxation that works synergistically with acupuncture. I also incorporate the use of Chinese Herbs, cupping, electro-acupuncture, and moxabustion.
