25% of women in the US suffer from irregular menstrual cycles. Within that group, black women are 3x more likely to suffer from fibroids than any other races.

To be able to advocate for your self, you must first educate yourself on what normal looks like.

Don’t let them fool you, this doctor life isn’t for the weak.

It is an honor to have those two letters in front of my name but don’t get it twisted it does not define who I am as a person.

The journey to becoming a doctor is one that take a lot of perseverance mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually and I wouldn’t have made it to that graduation stage with out God guiding me.

I love what I do and I am happy to be apart of the group of amazing providers out there that come day in and day out with the only intention of making their patients’ lives at least a little better than it was when they first walked in.

All this to say Happy Doctor Day to all the MD, DO, DC, DPT, DNPs, DMD……. 🤍

PMSing is not normal.

A lot of the symptoms that women experience during their cycle have been summed up as being normal. But let's get something straight, pain is NEVER normal.

Many have become so accustomed to menstrual pain that I hear "it just runs in my family" more often than not.

First, we have to understand that pain is our body's way of communicating to us and when there is pain, we have to become aware of what we may be doing to cause our body to react that way.

Second, there isn't a one-size-fits-all when it comes to women's menstrual cycle. The pill may put a bandaid on the symptoms but the underline problem is still there.

Lastly, what I love about Chinese Medicine is that it give you the tools to find the underline condition, which can be different for everyone, and the modalities to treat the condition e.i. Acupuncture, Herbs, and Moxa.

It's time for you to get out of pain and take control of your body!

Hiking + jogging + lifting up kids + squatting

No matter how you like to move your body, cupping is an amazing way to recover. The negative pressure from cupping helps to reset your body to keep you in the game and on top of your game.

Is Acupuncture good for sports injuries?

Of course, it is!

Top athletes swear by acupuncture for a speedy recovery time, and many of them use acupuncture to delay or even remove the need for surgery. Acupuncture is also effective at maximizing the post-surgical recovery process for most sports injuries.

Many athletes also get regular treatments in between training help to optimize the natural healing process in the body, which can help speed up recovery time by relieving muscle tension when the athlete encounters an injury.

Acupuncture is able to do all of that because it :
- increases circulation at the injury site which helps ease tight muscles and decrease muscle fatigue or soreness
- increasing tissue regeneration
- improve blood flow
- increase energy
- calms the nervous system

We don't all treat the same.

Chiropractic care can very look different depending on the clinic or the doctor treating you. It is a very broad profession that has many specialties. I, personally specialize in sports injuries and rehab exercises but they are not the only things I treat in my office.

Movement is my main focus when it comes to my patients. Whether you are a professional athlete or a mother of 3, my goal is to have you move to the best of your ability without pain or discomfort.

Nobody wants to not be able to play their favorite sport or play with their kids because of pain. This is why I incorporate movement base exercises in every visit to assure that every time I see you, you are one step closer to getting back to doing what you love.
