WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING THE TREATMENT?
 
 
In my practice I strive to bring back the tradition of the caring health practitioner, who knows and understands his patients, not just their disorders. Combining the TCM healing system with my understanding of both western and alternative medical approaches, we will work together to restore your overall health in addition to treating your symptoms.
 
You may expect your treatment to last one hour per session. Your initial assessment will take 30 minutes, and is complimentary.  
 
Please wear loose fitting, comfortable clothes to your appointment.  Also please make sure that you have had something to eat prior to the treatment and are hydrated.
 
 
During your session you may be treated using any of the following Traditional Chinese Medical therapies:
 
Acupuncture: The insertion of fine needles at designated acupuncture points to treat disorders and improve your health.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Moxibustion: Heating acupuncture points to treat disorders. Can also be used as a treatment for needle-sensitive patients.
 
 
 
 
 
Cupping: The use of round suction cups over a large muscular area such as the back to enhance blood circulation.
 
 
 
 
 
Tui Na: Chinese medical massage utilized in facilitating healing and pain management. Can also be used as a form of acupressure to treat needle-sensitive patients.
 
 
 
Qi Gong:  An ancient Chinese energy medicine adapted for use in the modern clinic.  Qi Gong involves using energy to release blockage and influence the movement of Qi and Blood through the body
