It is my goal to make sure you feel your best and stay that way. I treat each patient individually by taking into consideration their constitution, body type, age, what ails them at the time, and even the time of year. Using the ancient practice and philosophy of Chinese medicine and Massage therapy, I aim to treat the "root" of the problem, and not just the "branch," or the present symptom. In this way, the body can be treated and healed at a deeper level, fixing the core problem, and not just bandaging up superficial manifestations of the problem. My goal is to achieve balance so that optimum health and happiness is possible.

Acupuncture in 81432 - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. 81432 acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
