Chronic Diseases

Over time chronic health issues can and will adversely affect the deep reserves of the body. Supporting the vital essences through Integrative Acupuncture Care can help any patient who is interested in restoring their health. Often times the adverse side-effects from allopathic interventions contribute to the depth of the illness. Additionally, managing the health of metabolic and endocrine function should not go overlooked in cases of chronic disease. In my practice I like to work thoroughly and comprehensively.

Cold & Flu Symptoms

While there is no cure for the common cold or flu, Chinese herbs and acupuncture treatments have long been used to help people with colds and the flu feel better. By reducing the intensity of symptoms, their duration and even their frequency, Traditional Oriental Medicine is an approach that supports health rather than suppressing symptoms. When it comes to prevention, the best time to build the immune system is in the summer, when the body is open, vital and flowing. I offer my Wellness visits year-round as a way to proactively build immune health.

Dermatological Conditions

Using traditional oriental medical therapies to treat skin disorders can be quite effective. There are many methods we can take to address your needs. From topical herbal washes and diagnosis & treatment of underlying systemic imbalances, to functional assessment of the GI tract and liver detoxification, each can play a role in caring for skin problems.

With children, managing the immune response may be critical in cases of eczema. When old scars still have pain or lack of sensation, releasing old adhesions associated with those symptoms can beneficially affect the health of the underlying tissue.

Fatigue

Integrative Acupuncture Care is a highly effective way to strengthen the body and restore health. Tonifying the vital Qi of the body is essential. Different strategies can provide you with essential support. I employ the use of acupuncture, herbal medicines, and qigong combined with functional lab testing and metabolic support. Depending on the length and cause of the fatigue, short-term or ongoing care may be necessary.

Gastro-Intestinal Health

Gas, bloating, constipation and other digestive discomforts are call for help. Integrated Acupuncture Care (acupuncture, herbal medicines, and metabolic and function screenings with nutritional supplements and dietary improvements) can assist in the important work of caring for your digestive system. The root of nutrients (ying qi) that sustain our good health can be enhanced in this way by removing external pathogens, reintroducing beneficial organisms, replacing any deficient digestive juices, and repairing the gastrointestinal lining Management of asthmatic symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and a tight chest is done by treating lung and kidney organs and the liver and the spleen when indicated.

Gout

Treatment of Gout with herbs, dietary modification and adjunct acupuncture therapy over a series of sessions is a treatment option for those who are looking for alternatives to traditionally prescribed medications.

Headaches

Those who suffer from headaches know that the pain that comes along with them and dampen the quality of life. Integrative Acupuncture Care can be effective for reducing migraines and other headaches. A course of integrated care that not only looks at the energetic physiology of Traditional Oriental Medicine, but looks a hormone dys-regulation, dietary factors and other physiologic stressors can reduce their frequency, intensity, and duration. For life-long debilitating migraines the course of treatment will likely be longer than more acute and short-term tension headaches.

Bone Healing

The body naturally does most of the work in healing its bones, and with Integrative Acupuncture Care, that natural work can be enhanced. I help to increase the rate of bone healing with herbs (topical and internal), moxabustion, and acupuncture therapy. Magnetic therapy also activates the speed of the healing process. In fact, acupuncture care can help off-set cases where surgical interventions have compromised the healing process.
