AFFORDABLE AND EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE
People often associate acupuncture with pain conditions, but it works on the endocrine, neurological, and circulatory systems as well as the muscular system to address many sub-clinical and borderline conditions. Patients can experience improvements in system functioning and overall well-being with consistent treatments, which in comparison to the annual cost of insurance premiums, co-pays, and prescriptions, is relatively inexpensive.

I use acupuncture, massage, herbal medicine and other therapeutic modalities to treat the following conditions:

*Sports injuries
*Muscular strains, trigger points
*Acute and chronic pain, arthritis, neuropathy
*Headaches
*Stress/anxiety/mood disorders
*Sleep disorders
*Digestive disorders
*Women's and men's health issues

HEALTH CARE IS SELF-CARE AND LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE
Chinese medicine is a system that was designed as a preventive medical intervention and can be utilized to maintain energy and promote healing by natural means throughout one's lifetime. 

Although acupuncture is perhaps the most well-known and recognizable aspect of Chinese medicine, it is just one part of a system designed to bring balance to the body and mind. Developed as part of an ancient medical system, acupuncture is a very relevant therapy in treating symptoms and conditions that arise from overwork and an over-stimulated lifestyle. Studies on the mechanism and efficacy of acupuncture support the benefits of this ancient medicine:

  *it stimulates the release of natural opioids, which affect changes in the autonomic nervous system and reduces pain.
  *it activates specific receptors that inhibit transmission of painful stimuli.
  *and it stimulates the release of specific neurotransmitters that affect the immune system.

I am also available to answer questions by phone (503.701.3042) or email about the treatment process or anything you've read on this site.
