My aim is to encourage your body in its
natural attempts to return to a state of
balance, harmony, health and freedom
from pain. This is achieved through the
diagnosis and treatment of the sources
of your discomfort or illness in
addition to relieving your pain.
I am deeply committed to preventive
medicine and work with both acute and
chronic pain and illness. The National
Institutes of Health officially
recognized these viable therapeutic
treatment methods in the fall of 1997
and again by JAMA, The Journal of the
American Medical Association in the fall
of 1998.
Embracing the best of Eastern treatment
methods and firmly believing that
Western Medicine is necessary under many
circumstances, I am happy to consult
with your other health providers. I
welcome your questions and the
opportunity to assist you with reaching
your optimal health potential.
Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine are
traditional forms of medicine that have
been practiced throughout the world
since ancient times. At the center of
this health care system is the concept
of energy. Everything in the universe is
comprised of energy. The elements,
planets, the sun and moon, the changing
seasons, plants, animals, humans -
everything! Nature is within each of us
and we are a replica of the universe in
it's natural unending cycle of life. In
this way Oriental medical theory could
be expressed as part philosophy. It's a
traditional approach to health care that
is now a way of life rather than an
alternative.
