“The
doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest
patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and
in the cause and prevention of disease.” –
Thomas Edison
Chinese
Medicine is a system of holistic health care that has
been in existence for more than 3,000 years. It encompasses
acupuncture, herbal medicine, diet therapy, massage techniques,
and qigong. It works by guiding the body back to its natural
state of balance. Acupuncture promotes circulation of
blood and energy through the body. Needles are thin and
generally painless. Inserted into specially selected acupoints
they can assist in pain relief or bring healing to internal
or external health concerns. Stress, anxiety, depression,
fatigue, back pain, arthritis, headaches, allergies, insomnia,
PMS, infertility, menopausal symptoms, IBS, and gastritis
are just a few of the conditions it can treat.
My
emphasis is on helping patients achieve their best possible
health. Using a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine,
dietary recommendations, and lifestyle changes, I can
often not only help with persistent conditions, but also
improve a patient's general well being and happiness.
In
contrast to some Western approaches that focus only on
an isolated condition, my practice emphasizes a patient's
total health and well-being. The idea is to treat not
only the current condition, but also look for underlying
causes that keep a patient from truly living well and
being well. I am interested in the interplay of emotional
and physical life, and how they work together in the prevention
of dis-ease in the body.
