The needles rarely cause pain and most often patients do not know they have been inserted. Acupuncture is excellent at treating a wide range of conditions and diseases. Read more here…

Functional Nutrition

Poor dietary choices are one of the leading causes of modern diseases. Unfortunately we are so overloaded with conflicting dietary advice from the media that many are left confused. It is impossible to know what is best when one study says that meat causes cancer, another says that carbohydrates cause obesity and yet another study states that we need to limit our fat intake.  We also hear that vitamins do no good, then the following month we are told that vitamins prevent disease. How can there be so much conflicting information?

It’s difficult to even know what to eat, let alone what diet will best suit your personal needs. We will help you make proper dietary and supplement choices that are right for your body and will help you sort out what works best for you.

I love helping my patients and I take great pride in making sure they obtain their health goals. All too often people are told that because their complaints do not fit into the customary medical framework there is really nothing wrong with them – despite the fact they feel awful. I use acupuncture, nutrition and herbal medicine to keep people healthy so that they don’t have to wait to have a named clinical condition. These treatment modalities can detect imbalances and correct imbalances long before they become an identifiable health crisis.

I find that patients who eat well for their body type and needs respond quicker to acupuncture treatments. Nutrition is an important foundation and if one doesn’t eat well, often an acupuncture treatment offers less results. I believe nutrition is a key to physical health. I also believe that acupuncture helps with emotional health and facilitates the process of self-care. Each of these treatments has its individual merit of treating at a different level in addition to their synergistic effects. Most patients do a combination of nutrition and acupuncture as together they are very powerful modalities for healing.
