Acupuncture + electrical stimulation + laser therapy is helping assist the healing process for this patient after his shoulder surgery 16 weeks ago.

There can be a lot of tightness, tenderness, "off" feelings after such a surgery, but having such an array of alternative resources for healing and pain management in today's medical system helps patients get to their desired destination that much quicker.

Grateful to be a small piece in the journey!

I was able to plug some needles into myself today and WOW you'd never think you had "needle deficiency" until you are done with an acupuncture appointment :) ;)

Glad I was able to fill my cup today

I utilize the red light laser therapy with so many of my patients!

With all the walking, running, hiking, exercising, dancing, stair climbing, and jumping that your patients may do throughout their lives, is it any wonder that at some point they may experience foot pain?

Although your bathroom habits may not be your most favorite topic to discuss, it's definitely a key factor in your Chinese medicine practitioner's treatment plan for you.

After a life-long struggle with constipation, we upped this patient's treatment to 2x/week the last 3 weeks and the results are showing!

Sometimes "acupuncture doesn't work" just means you are not being treated enough!

As with most gentle modalities, it will take time and effort to see results. But if you keep with it, the results are worth waiting for

Acupuncturist by trade, baby-watcher (human or animal) by choice ;)

Litter of the cutest pups at my in-home appointment today! Human or not, thankful my clients open their homes for treatments so I can meet them wherever they need to be met in this season of life

Tis the season for non-stop delays and slow traffic due to (what it seems like!) every road being under construction. This inconveniences many, but the workers are really the ones paying! Long, hot summer days standing, walking, sitting in one position, can make the days seem even longer when the body is begging for a break.
Helping these workers feel better can make a huge difference in their day-to-day operations.
A treatment consisting of acupuncture, cupping, guasha, and electrical stimulation to help loosen and relax muscles, bring blood flow, minimize the aches and pains.

Although I wouldn’t recommend fire cupping yourself, my former yogi is still very impressed with the mobility in my washed-up-former-collegiate-softball-player-shoulders (Wow, that was a mouthful 😂😅).

A little self care + workout with my littles before celebrating the US of A!

Happy 4th of July weekend, all. I hope you enjoy your days, stay cool, and be safe! 🇺🇸

TMJ discomfort= taken care of 🤌🏻🤝🏻

You’ll probably hear a redundancy of questions, concerns, inquiries from your acupuncturist.
Why?
Because each treatment is tailored to fit YOUR body’s needs as an individual.
Have you expressed concerns with increased discomforts and/or symptoms after treatment?
What does an acupuncturist do?
Listen and learn.
Trauma induced symptoms can be a little trickier to understand and address, but with some patience and inquiry these little needles can be a mighty homeostasis conductor🙂

After today’s treatment, that took into account her past concerns, this patient got off the table with no discomfort.

AND a sigh of gratitude as she walked out 💗

Thankful for this medicine, and the ability to ebb and flow with each individual 👏🏻
