Acupuncture is a natural healing process which works with your body’s ability to heal itself. By considering all of your current symptoms, including all aspects of your physical and emotional state, acupuncture treatments help to restore the harmonious balance of the body. Acupuncturists are licensed by the California Board of Medical Quality Assurance to treat many of the same conditions that are addressed by Western medical doctors.
Some of the problems that I commonly treat are:
- Pain such as repetitive stress injuries (RSI), back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches/migraines
- Stress problems such as insomnia, anxiety, depression
- Women's hormonal issues such as menopause and menstrual difficulties
- Digestive problems
I also frequently work with clients who are receiving Western medical treatments for auto-immune disorders, immune deficiencies and cancer.
The World Health Organization (WHO) lists many conditions for which acupuncture is a proven effective treatment. http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/en/d/Js4926e/5.html.
Having been in practice since 1986, I have effectively treated many of the conditions on WHO's list. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your concerns.
