Ancient Wisdom Treats Modern Diseases
There are many possibilities as to why acupuncture is so effective for many pain conditions. No doubt it isn’t just one or two mechanisms at work but several that may be different depending on the individual. A recent article found that adenosine which is a pain receptor modulator is expressed during acupuncture. This study was done in mice which may or may not translate to humans, although it is very likely this is one of the mechanisms at play.
Hi, I’m Dr. George Mandler. I’m a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine and a Licensed Dietitian with more than 20 years of clinical experience. I believe that lasting health comes from understanding the unique factors that influence each person’s well-being, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Through acupuncture, nutrition, functional medicine, and personalized health strategies, I help patients address the root causes of their symptoms and build a foundation for better long-term health. My goal is to provide practical guidance, compassionate care, and evidence-informed solutions that help patients feel their best.
