Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), in the form of acupuncture, is subtle yet powerful. This effective, drug free method safely unlocks your innate ability to heal yourself, restoring balance in your body. As an electrical being, your nervous system constantly sends and receives electrical signals throughout your entire body. Sometimes through injury, disease or lifestyle this free flow of electrical energy becomes hindered or blocked, causing pain or illness.
I'm sure you're familiar with low back pain, headaches, digestion issues, insomnia, menstrual cramps, or other ailments that send messages of pain. Inserting fine, sterile, disposable needles at specific points in your body stimulates the flow of electrical energy, clearing blockages, correcting the root cause of your problem, and resolving your pain.
Like many of my patients, you may find that once your pain is resolved, other physical and emotional functions continue to improve. As a Licensed Acupuncturist (LAc) in California, I've received more extensive training in acupuncture and herbal medicine than any other type of health care provider.

TCM is a comprehensive medical system that focuses on restoring balance in your body and has evolved over 3,000 years of clinical use.
Acupuncture is part of TCM and modern medical research shows that it is effective.
TCM looks at your entire being seeking the root cause of imbalance.
It goes deeper than the mere masking of symptoms with drugs.

Your immune system is responsible for protecting you from infection from the outside and from abnormal cellular growth on the inside.
A suppressed immune system can not only leave you vulnerable to every cold or sore throat that goes around but also to cancer.
Poor nutrition, overwork, stress, sleep deprivation and emotional upheaval can all contribute to weakened immunity.
Many people are in a constant state of low grade "fight or flight" response.
When you are stressed, chemicals are released that prepare the body to fight or run, suppressing "less essential" functions like digestion, reproduction, immunity so that more energy can go to the muscles.
