I had an esophagectomy 10 years ago for cancer. That surgery left me with severe abdominal pain which profoundly effected my quality of life. On my first visit, acupuncture completely freed me from abdominal pain for the first time in years. I sought acupuncture treatment for knee problems related to a sports injury.

Acupunctureis an ancient Chinese medical system using sterile, hair-thin needles to stimulate nerves and improve circulation of blood and qi (or energy, pronounced chee) in order to alleviate pain or improve health. Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine, and other treatment modalities we use, are effective, safe, natural, drug free approaches to your health concerns.

Chinese herbal medicine is much more extensive than we are used to in the west. It uses more than 1000 herbs, minerals, insects, and animal parts (such as bones, shells, antlers) which are commonly combined in formulas of 3 to 20 herbs. Seldom is a single herb used alone. In tonic formulas, the combination of herbs works together to balance and restore specific aspects of the body, such as nourishing blood, calming the spirit, or boosting qi. In the case of disease, a formula might be chosen to expel "evils".

You will be asked to fill out an intake health questionnaire before your first treatment. Please bring with you a list of all medications and supplements you are currently taking. I will ask you a series of questions about many aspects of your health including sleep, digestion, energy, emotions, and the nature of any pain.
