Electro-acupuncture is one of my favorite tools. Research shows reduced pain signaling in the central nervous system by stimulating A-delta fibers and releasing endorphins and enkephalins. It also improves local blood flow, calms inflammation, and resets motor patterns in muscle tissue. Clinically, I find it more effective for chronic pain, nerve involvement, and stubborn musculoskeletal injuries than traditional needling alone.

Electro-Acupuncture ▪️ Pecs. Quads. Biceps.

E-stim speeds up recovery compared to traditional needling alone. By increasing blood flow and reducing muscle tension it helps your body repair faster after heavy lifts.

Less soreness ▫️ Fewer barriers
Faster recovery ▫️ Better performance

Train hard. Recover smarter.

There’s a reason why dry needling is banned in California, New York, Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii.

Recently an NFL player received a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) from a dry needling session from an under-qualified practitioner.

The facts are this - dry needling is a term created by various health professionals in an effort to utilize needling in their practice without having to undergo the vigorous training a licensed acupuncturist is required to do. It is less skilled, less effective, and potentially dangerous.

Do your research and ask your practitioner how many hours of training was required of them to perform needling. Licensed acupuncturists typically need 2,000-3,000 hours of training in a Masters/Doctorate program. Some other professionals can get certified with as little as 50-60 hours. That math doesn’t math if you ask me, especially when needles are being inserted near vital organs.

Seek treatment from a licensed acupuncturist for the safest and most well rounded treatment. And if you’re a professional that wants to use needling in your protocol, out of respect for our industry and for the safety of your patients, please take the proper route of training to becoming a licensed acupuncturist instead of cutting corners.

For those interested in reading on, I just got back from China and I’m still beaming. 💫

It’s hard to describe how rare and special this experience was. I had the honor of learning from top physicians at Nanjing University, Nanjing Hospital, and Jiangsu Hospital. These institutions rank among the best in China, serving millions of people every year.

While training with some of the best Chinese doctors in the world, I deepened my knowledge in familiar techniques and learned new cutting edge methods for pain and injury, sports medicine, women’s health, digestive balance, hormonal regulation, cosmetic acupuncture, weight loss, eye health, neuropathy, stroke recovery, prostate care, pediatrics, and more.

Some of these are treatments we only hear about in the West, and to see them in action was something else entirely. ❤️‍🔥

I feel incredibly grateful and humbled to bring this knowledge home. What I learned goes beyond what is typically available in the West, and I cannot wait to integrate these methods into my treatments. I am so excited to return to the island, refreshed and inspired, and to offer advanced and compassionate care to our community. 🌺

Acupuncture and electrostimulation (e-stim) along the three branches of the trigeminal nerve (ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular) are effective treatments for stroke induced paralysis and Bell’s palsy, especially when started promptly after onset. Early intervention increases the chances of full recovery by quickly enhancing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and encouraging nerve regeneration before muscle atrophy or permanent nerve damage sets in. These treatments stimulate neuromuscular function, helping to restore facial movement, reduce weakness, and improve overall facial symmetry.
