I use a holistic personalized approach to healing. The Chinese medical method is holistic, treating the whole person rather than symptoms. Pain, fatigue, stress and insomnia, allergies, digestive disorders and fertility, are an example of the many ailments that can be notably improved with acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle changes. With gentle care and attention to detail I will help you meet your health goals.

Acupuncture in Irondale - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. Irondale acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
