Alternative medicine is still not widely known here in the west, but it is continuing to grow in popularity as people realize the benefits that it can provide.

We practice Chinese alternative medicine, and we are able to treat a wide variety of conditions. What kinds of health problems are you experiencing? Of course, this list is by no means exhaustive. These are just some of the conditions that have been helped through the use of alternative medicine. We have found that a lot of people are under misconceptions when discussing this type of treatment. When you hear the term “alternative medicine”, what comes to your mind? Perhaps some kind of mystical procedure, one that is not found in any textbook? Or maybe you just don’t have any idea of what it entails, other than it is very different from traditional western medicine? It is true that the treatment we offer is different than what you would expect in a standard doctor’s office. In a typical clinic, you would probably be diagnosed or have some further tests ordered to confirm a condition. You would get a prescription for drugs; probably antibiotics or pain meds (or both). Alternative medicine is just as the name suggests: an alternative to the traditional methods. When you come in and see us, we will find out what your current health concern is, but it will be handled in the context of your overall condition. We want to see that your body achieves balance, and that it has the proper flow of energy. When these things are in harmony, the other problems will often be taken care of in due course. One of the primary components of our alternative medicine treatment is the use of acupuncture. This is a procedure that originated in China many thousands of years ago, and has been taught to generation after generation of health practitioners. Acupuncture is a rather simple procedure that can have some profound results. It involves very fine needles that are inserted into the skin at particular locations called acupoints. Those specific points are stimulated by the needle itself, and perhaps additional procedures. Some variations we employ are:

• Moxibustion
• Electro-acupuncture
• Cupping
• Ear acupuncture
• Point injection therapy
• Acupressure

In addition to the various acupuncture methods, alternative medicine also includes the use of Chinese herbal medicine, Qigong Energy Healing, Tuina Massage Therapy, Pediatric Massage Therapy and Diet Therapy. We would encourage you to consider finding out more about our treatment methods. Some of the patients that come into our office for the first time have already been to traditional doctors, and are frustrated with the lack of progress or the fact that they have not been able to get any relief from the pain. We would be honored if you would allow us to help you through alternative medicine. When you call our office, we will arrange a time for you to come in and discuss your health situation. Our first concern is that you are healthy and free from pain, and all treatments will be with those goals in mind.
