What We Treat
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain diminishes energy, clouds our mood, and can make everyday activities impossible. Sometimes, our patients come to us as a last hope. We are happy to say that through customized treatments we are able to address and reduce chronic pain substantially, and often make it a distant memory. Acupuncture is able to improve circulation, and stimulate the nervous and immune systems to promote the natural healing ability of your body. Our treatment methods have little to no side effects, and we work in conjunction with conventional medical treatments such as prescription drug therapy, surgery, physical therapy, or chemotherapy and radiation. Our treatment methods are gentle and effective for any age or stage of life.
Some of the conditions that we have treated with success are low back pain, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, psoriatic arthritis pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, knee pain, shoulder and rotator cuff pain, frozen shoulder, tendonitis, neck pain, degenerative disc and bulging disc pain, pain due to digestive issues, GERD, and IBS, headache, migraine, plantar fasciitis, raynaud’s disease, menstrual pain and endometriosis.
Women's Health
Women’s health care encompasses not only the treatment of female reproductive and menopausal care. It also includes understanding how women experience symptoms differently, trauma informed care, and specializing in the treatment of conditions that more often affect women, including Fibromyalgia and autoimmune diseases. Women’s health means that just because a symptom like menstrual pain or hot flashes is common, it doesn’t mean that it's normal or should be ignored. We customize our treatment protocols to address your specific concerns, and work on the underlying cause of symptoms for long term results. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine excel at treating painful periods, PMDD, PCOS symptoms, hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, depression, migraines, insomnia, fatigue, and fertility.
Fertility & IVF
Many women need help along their fertility journey. Whether you are trying to conceive naturally, or undergoing IVF or IUI, we are here to tip the scales in your favor. Acupuncture is proven to promote blood flow to the uterus and reproductive organs, improve egg quality, reduce stress, and improve the success of IVF by 30-50%. We customize our fertility protocols to exactly where you are in your process. For those undergoing IVF or IUI, we keep it simple with acupuncture, fertility boosting foods, and easy lifestyle counseling to reduce stress and make each cycle count. For those starting from scratch, we like to blend in custom Chinese herbal medicine and supplements for daily fertility support.
Fibromyalgia & Autoimmune Disorders
Getting a diagnosis for an autoimmune condition or fibromyalgia can take years and countless tests. Conventional pharmaceutical treatments can be expensive, have side effects, and still may not address all your symptoms. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can be key in bridging the gap from the care you are receiving to the healthiest version of yourself. We help our patients with mitigating side effects and working on symptoms that are not properly managed by your current treatments. Acupuncture helps our patients feel better by reducing inflammation, down-regulating the autonomic nervous system, and moderating immune response. Our patients have less flare-ups, better sleep and mood, and relief from all the confusing ways an autoimmune disorder can wreak havoc on your life.
We have successfully helped our patients manage symptoms of lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, eczema, fibromyalgia, polymyalgia rheumatica, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Chron’s and ulcerative colitis, Sjogren’s, and diabetes.
