Below are some of the main modalities of treatment that I might use at your visit. In my training, I was fortunate to have many talented mentors who taught a varied array of lineages, diagnostic tools, and treatment strategies. My style as a practitioner focuses on listening to what you need as the patient and then utilizing all of the various tools to formulate an individualized treatment as unique as you.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles at specific points along the acupuncture meridians or extraordinary points. Placement is determined through extensive diagnostic evaluation and is unique to each patient on each visit.
