Will Acupuncture Help With My Condition?

Because it stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself, acupuncture is a valuable complement to conventional medical treatment of almost any condition. In 2002, the World Health Organization published a review and analysis of nearly 300 controlled clinical trials on acupuncture and concluded that it is useful in the treatment of over 90 diseases, symptoms, and conditions, including: allergies, asthma, and hay fever; arthritis; low back pain and sciatica; neck, shoulder, and elbow pain; knee pain; shingles and post-herpetic neuralgia; depression and insomnia; fibromyalgia; rheumatoid arthritis; headaches and TMJ pain; infertility and polycystic ovarian syndrome; nausea, vomiting, and morning sickness; painful periods and PMS; tobacco and alcohol dependence; and many others.

I have been told by many patients that they appreciate my ability to explain their diagnosis and treatment plan in simple, common sense language. As a native English speaker, you won’t have to struggle to understand me. Because I have a scientific and medical background, I will be able to work alongside and communicate with your other health care providers (if you wish). I go out of my way to make sure that all your questions are thoroughly answered during your office visits and am available via telephone or email for questions between appointments. I will carefully listen to you and will give you plenty of time to explain your concerns. I look forward to getting to know you and your family and becoming your friend!

I also offer an on-site pharmacy of over 250 super-premium Chinese herbal formulas and Standard Process dietary supplements. If appropriate, one of these formulas can be custom-prescribed for your condition. (Please note that the pharmacy is not open to the public. Herbs and supplements are available by prescription only for existing patients.)
