​
We will give you strategies to help heal your pain, and keep it from coming back.
We keep it simple​
​
We use same, 100% natural therapies to make the biggest difference. The biggest side effect you can expect is feeling fantastic.

Our Process


STEP ONE:  Compile a Clear and Detailed Root Cause Assessment
We will take a detailed history, review any other data you have received about your pain, and listen to all your overall symptoms to get to the root cause of your condition. 

STEP TWO:  A Customized and Specific Plan of Action
The next step is to create a customized and very specific plan that takes all guesswork out of your self-care and the treatment strategy we will use, without drugs, surgery, or long-term commitments.
This includes weekly acupuncture treatments, key supplements, herbal formulas, and simple dietary changes.

STEP THREE:  Weekly Treatments to Reduce/Eliminate Pain and Adjust the Neuromuscular System
We’ll begin weekly treatment sessions with the goal of reducing or eliminating your pain and
​increasing range of motion. 

STEP FOUR:  Ongoing Assessment and Monitoring of Your Pain and Range of Motion
We will follow up at regular intervals to ensure progress is measurable: that your pain is significantly reduced, while progressively increasing range of motion.

STEP FIVE (optional):  Occasional Maintenance If Needed
If needed, we can schedule occasional visits to ensure results are permanent.

Common Questions

What is the treatment?
We use a combination of acupuncture, pharmaceutical grade supplements, and classic Chinese herbal formulas to address your pain. Sometimes, we also add focused massage techniques and bodywork to increase the efficacy, if needed.

How long does it take?
Hard to answer as everyone is different, however if the case is typical, it usually takes between 2-3 months. Keep in mind, very often, this is to get rid of the pain and dysfunction, not just "manage" the pain.

I already had surgery to address my problem, will it still work?
For sure. We can still have a profound effect on your challenge, regardless of any surgeries, structural deformities, or permanent injuries. Each case will be different. 

​What can you do to help me from experiencing pain again?
A part of our work together will be to give you specific treatments that you should do on your own, to help your pain from every coming back. All are relatively simple techniques that are super-effective. It will take a little bit of work on your part, but you should be happy with the results.
Do I have to follow a specific diet, or do I have to start meditating?
Only if you want to. We make small suggestions you can take to help increase the speed of recovery. Many of these suggestions have the potential to make a profound effect. But it is not a requirement.

Will the herbs and supplements interact with my current medications?
We are aware of how these will interact with all aspects of your condition, and all considerations will be taken into account. In many cases, our herbal therapies can actually work together, and you may be able to modify your current medication with your medical doctor after working with us.

Will it work?
We will not lie, require up-front commitments, or just saying anything to get you in. The bottom line is your case is unique. We promise to give you our opinion, based upon experience, and let you decide from there what you want to do from there.
Your initial consultation is free. Come meet us in person and learn more.
