Services
Plan on 1-1/2 hours, as an extensive interview is taken on the first visit. You will fill out a complete medical history which will be discussed in detail, along with your current condition. The whole person is treated, not just the symptoms. Next, your tongue is examined and your pulses are felt. Tongue and pulse diagnosis give the acupuncturist important information about your body's 'climate' and how to treat your condition.
Acupuncture is a covered service in some health plans. Check with your insurer to determine if you have acupuncture coverage. If so, get all the details such as what conditions are covered (back pain, nausea, etc.); co-pays and deductibles; and if you can use any acupuncturist or only in-network acupuncturists.
What exactly is acupuncture? Acupuncture is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into various parts of the body to naturally restore its balance. To balance, harmonize and integrate organ functions so that they work together effectively. How does it work, exactly? No one knows for sure exactly how stimulation of certain points on the body stops pain, for instance.
Auricular acupuncture, or the placement of 5-6 tiny needles in the ear, is used for weight control and to stop smoking. Repetitive motion injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Acupuncture is highly effective for treating this condition, and surgery can often be avoided. Stress-related disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, upper shoulder and neck tension and pain.

Nancy has been treating me for a variety of issues, from painful joints, to numb feet, to carpel tunnel. She is very thorough and knowledgeable about the body and her craft. She also can treat with herbs, which can be very powerful for healing. I also enjoy the sessions, as she puts on relaxing music and uses aromatherapy. I highly recommend her.

Nancy's treatments have been awesome for me! What has been amazing to me is the wide variety of issues that Nancy's acupuncture has resolved, and resolved very quickly. Over the past five years, she has treated me for insomnia, high blood pressure, knee pain, Achilles' tendon pain, and allergies. At every appointment, Nancy takes time to ask questions, answer my questions, check my vitals, and uses all the information to give me a very effective treatment.
It is a great pleasure to work with Nancy, as she not only treats me very well as a patient, but also as a person. I'm so very thankful to have discovered Nancy and the benefits of acupuncture, andhighly recommend her to anyone.

I had an issue with my arm where I could not move it at all up or sideways, and it could have easily led to frozen shoulder and would have required long-term therapy, cortisone injections, surgery, etc. (massive medical bills) Instead of going that route I decided after doing some research to visit East-West Acupuncture and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Nancy is incredible, and really works well to figure out the issue and what the proper treatment should be. After leaving her office, I could move my arm up and to the side again and after doing what she suggested I was fully healed in a short amount of time.

I have been using Nancy for the last year, and I have had such great progress with my Rheumatoid Arthritis! Treatments on my wrists resolved my issues, and 6 months later, I haven't had any flair-ups. I still go about every 3 weeks to keep me in gear, and I am eternally grateful! A huge fan - you will definitely enjoy a session with Nancy.

I have had wonderful effects from Nancy's treatments. From muscle spasms and sprains and mild anxiety, I get relief after treatment. Auricular acupuncture has helped with addiction and cravings - food in my case. This has helped me in my long term life style changes and weight loss goals. Nancy is very professional. The treatments vary according to what is troubling you.
She is very gentle with the needles which are actually very small and only slightly penetrate the skin. Some acupuncture points are a little more "owie" than others, but Nancy helps make it as comfortable as possible. The facilities are clean and very comfortable. Once I'm needled up, I enjoy zoning out while listening to the relaxing music.
