With a focus on

Pain Management

Acupuncture can be used to treat an extensive variety of pain conditions. Whether it is a chronically sore low back or a neck ache from too much computer use, acupuncture can effectively reduce pain by balancing the Qi (vital energy) in your body. Western Medicine-based research links acupuncture to pain reduction via the increase in local blood flow, release of hormones and endorphins and neural stimulation.

Mental and Emotional Wellness

Emotional well-being is an important aspect of overall wellness. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), each emotion is linked to an organ system. When emotions are excessive or repressed, several physical conditions may manifest. Some examples are headaches, a weakened immune system, poor digestion, insomnia, fatigue, and pain. Balancing the organ system will balance the associated emotion. Since emotions, thoughts, and environmental factors can play a role in the presentation of different chronic and acute ailments in our bodies, an integrative approach with Acupuncture and BodyTalk may be valuable in bringing total harmony back into the body and mind.

Digestive Disorders

Digestive health can be linked to mental, emotional, and overall physical health. Human and animal studies have shown that acupuncture can help regulate gut motility and gastric acid secretion. Commonly treated disorders include acid reflux, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and gas. A diversified treatment plan may include acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Chinese diet therapy, and BodyTalk to provide more comprehensive healing.

Testimonials

I struggled for several years with moderate to severe rosacea. I was a regular patient of Christine’s. I saw her for pain in my wrists aggravated by driving and typing, which she successfully treated. While in her office, I questioned her about treating rosacea with acupuncture. I opted to invest in acupuncture rather than medication and am pleased with the outstanding results.

I’m very grateful that Christine provided a natural option for managing my rosacea with realistic goals and accurate timelines.

I would highly recommend anyone who is serious about controlling their rosacea to consider working with Christine.
