About Acupuncture

The acupuncture I practice is result-oriented. Whether it is pain that gets better, improved sleep, digestion, hormone balance, organ function, general energy, or whatever concern brings one into the clinic, these improvements are noticeable with treatment.

After acupuncture, patients comment on feeling better than when they walked in. Also, not only does what brings someone in for treatment improve in the majority, often my patients comment on overall improvement in their lives, work, and relationships.

Although it is understandable to want quick resolution, in the majority of cases it takes more than just one session for concerns and the underlying patterns that are causing symptoms to resolve.

I practice a root-cause treatment approach that not only addresses symptoms, but helps support the bodies homeostasis on a systemic level which in turn addresses the cause of symptoms and helps eliminate their recurrence. This approach is different than treating simply at a symptomatic level, or what I call a ‘band-aid’ approach, where symptoms are alleviated for a time, but the cause of the symptoms isn’t addressed and symptoms often return.

In my clinic I see the best results when there is consistency of treatment, with 4-6 sessions either once weekly or twice a week in the beginning. With more complicated concerns, I see greatest improvement scheduling twice a week in the beginning for at least the first couple weeks.

With all patients, as concerns consistently improve, treatment timing is then spaced out and adjusted by how well concerns are improving and holding between treatment, which in the majority of cases, although occasionally there is some ‘one-step forward, two-step back’ progression, concerns tend to improve proportionally with time and consistency.

I also see some patients for preventative medicine, maintenance, and seasonal tune-ups, and in these cases, once a month, or once a season is also encouraged. Since consistency can be so beneficial with this medicine, I offer a discounted 6 treatment package, and I also offer a sliding scale to help make this medicine accessible to people who need help but have less resources to afford regular acupuncture.

The styles I practice include Classical Five Element Acupuncture, Neoclassical Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Tuina.

Acupuncture training involves a four-year Master’s Degree at minimum that aside from years of training in Chinese medical theory and a two year clinical internship at minimum, acupuncture training also includes significant Western Biomedical training for licensure and board examination.
