Acupuncture Services

Usually I gravitate to a Japanese style of acupuncture, utilizing just a few needles at the head, wrists and ankles. (Though there are times I incorporate needles at the forearms and lower legs.) During the treatment, I also administer a little bit of light anma and shiatsu (Japanese medical massage) to facilitate communication between the needles, the central nervous system (from a biomedical perspective), the organ systems and channels (from a Chinese medical perspective), and any painful areas (for instance the neck and back).

​

If applicable, I also suggest simple stretches and exercises (including Medical Qigong exercises, if this is of interest to the patient) to help accentuate the patient’s healing process.
