Doug has been my acupuncturist for over 5 years now and has been treating me for severe Trigeminal  Neuralgia.  Previously there were a lot of foods I was unable to eat because the condition causes excruciating pain with chewing. I’m happy to say that I can now eat almost anything except steak. Doug is also a friendly, wonderful person who will do anything he can to help you. He actually comes to the house for my treatment each week since I’m bedridden and unable to get to his office.

Questions?

How does acupuncture work?

According to traditional theory, acupuncture regulates the movement of qi and blood in the body, restoring homeostasis and promoting self healing. A typical session involves the gentle application of needles to specific acupuncture points around the body, to the patient's comfort level. Our approach includes clinical therapies, changing habits (e.g. posture/ergonomics, sleep position, repetitive activities) and home care (e.g. therapeutic exercises, stretching, breathwork, heat therapy, and self-massage).

Do you accept insurance?

We accept most healthcare insurances. We also accept FSA and HSA cards for payment.

How long do I need to come for?

Many people find relief within a short period of time. When you come in for treatment, we follow this plan: 

​

1. Relief Care: The focus in this stage is to “get out of the woods” with pain/symptoms. Treatment is once or twice a week for 3-5 visits, and most patients get some relief from pain with the first visit. 

​

2. Corrective Care: Here, the pain and/or other symptoms are greatly diminished or gone. Less frequent treatments (10-14 days apart) are needed because there is greater balance and symptom relief that lasts between visits. Here, we maintain a deeper level of healing to prevent backslide and the return of pain/symptoms. 

​

3. Wellness Care: For the balanced body. This is preventative maintenance care. It can be monthly, every other month or with the change of seasons.

Do you do massage, too?

Massage can be a great addition to any acupuncture treatment whether it’s just for stress relief, relaxation or some stubborn tension in the muscles and connective tissue/fascia. Sometimes there’s just no substitute for hands on therapy. For an additional $40, you can add on a half-hour of medical massage to your acupuncture appointment.
