Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points of the body which are connected by energy lines or meridians…
Furthermore…
I use the different skills incorporated in Traditional Chinese Medicine to design treatment strategies that are appropriate for each patient and their needs. After an initial consultation which involves detailed questioning, as well as tongue and pulse diagnosis, I choose the best combination of treatments.
For example acupuncture, herbs and dietary advice would work well for an internal condition such as a skin or digestive problem, acupuncture and massage are good for musculoskeletal problems and acupuncture with hopi ear candles are good for sinusitis or blocked ears. Needle phobic patients can have herbs on their own or with massage or acupressure.
