Pain Medicine

Acute and chronic pain effects over 100 million people in the United States each year. Pain affects people differently. What may be perceived as only a minor nuisance to one person, may be completely debilitating to someone else. It is a warning that something isn't quite right. Pain is not just a physical sensation or psychological event, but a combination of these and other components. One of the strongest areas in Chinese Medicine is that of pain management. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can relieve symptoms while bringing the body back into balance for long term results! make an appointment with Andrew

Fertility & Gynecological Issues

Chinese medicine is often helpful where conventional medicine is not. PMS, edometriosis, PCOS, menstrual disorders and menopause can be better managed or resolved with acupuncture and herbal medicine. Infertility candidates for medical acupuncture are women or men who have a functional, rather than a structural reason. The American Academy of Medical Acupuncture, finds it helps as many as 65-80 percent of these cases. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help with issues of irregular menses, excess NK cells amd works with gonadotropin therapy to produce follicles in women undergoing in vitro fertilization. Low sperm count and sperm motility are fertility issues that men face and the combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine has shown to benefit men with these issues.

Hormone Balance

Acupuncture and herbal medicine help to regulate our hormonal system, which is the cause of many disorders including irregular periods, endometriosis, PCOS, low sperm count and autoimmune disease. Acupuncture and herbs strengthen the immune system, regulate blood pressure, blood flow and body temperature. Boosting and regulating the hormonal system is the job of our endocrine system. Your endocrine system is a collection of glands that produce hormones that regulate your body's growth, metabolism, and sexual development and function. The hormones are released into the bloodstream and transported to tissues and organs throughout your body. When our system is not running to its most functional capacity, acupuncture and herbal medicine can bring back and improve deficiencies (hypo) or regulate excess conditions (hyper). Acupuncture and herbs can also relieve stress and anxiety related to imbalances, speed recovery time and improve wound healing. Make an appointment with Andrew

Mind Medicine

Mind medicine imparts the healing power on the entire body. This "trickle-down effect" can be seen repeatedly in many forms of Eastern medicine. The psychological root-cause of each person's belief system, which becomes the texture of how we live our lives, can be expressed in the subtle energies of the body as well as in the expression of disease.

No matter what form of therapy we use, be it herbs, acupuncture, crystals, color… we are only capable in balancing our lives as we are by the beliefs we hold in our heart. Formulate a positive belief system and we lay the basic groundwork for a stronger foundation in which to build better health.

Our belief system is one of our most powerful assets. With the ability to believe, we can accomplish nearly anything! The more one believes in them selves, the more one will definitely make accomplishments. When we face situations that are near physical or mental impossibilities, then it is our belief system, or belief in ourselves, that determines IF it is possible. Instilling this message to a person can create the groundwork for change. The following is a look at both the Eastern and Western approach to mind body practice. Learn more about Mind Medicine.

National Acupuncture Detoxification Assocation (NADA)

As an acupuncturist, I have used the NADA protocol for controlling nicotine addiction, drug and alcohol dependency and sexual addiction on hundreds of patients, all with reasonable to great results. Not to mention great results with stress reduction.

The NADA protocol is simple, yet quite effective. Drug, alcohol and tobacco addictions are major problems that affect tens of millions of people in America. This is not just a problem in America, but is occurring worldwide. The addition of acupuncture into the treatment for addiction seems to be very beneficial, and almost the single ingredient that helps the protocol succeed. There are numerous benefits for patients by using this protocol... Want to know more? Make an appointment with Andrew

Acupressure/TuiNa

Known as the grandfather of all massage, Tuina was developed in China over over 5,000 years ago. This Oriental bodywork encompasses Reflexology, Accupressure and Massage. Tuina works on the energy channels and points on the body using the same principles as Acupuncture except you are using your hands and fingers instead of needles. This amazing massage session invigorates blood, increases circulation, relieves pain, soothes stress and eases tense, tight muscles. Learn more about Acupressure and TuiNa here.

Special Packages

Big Savings with special package deals. Acupuncture and herbal medicine have a profound and lasting impact on our health! This is due to the fact that this medicine works at the "root" of the problems, healing from the inside out, for the long term. This natural approach is subtle and powerful at the same time. This is why acupuncture is usually not a "quick fix". The longer the body is out of balance (as in, long term illness like diabetes, hormonal disorders, anti-aging treatments or gynecological problems) the longer it takes to re-balance it.
