Our plan of action to help you

Initial Assessment & Treatment Plan

We’ll discuss your case, your medical history, and any medications that you’re taking. We’ll help you create goals for the treatment and resolution of your condition.

We’ll assess your condition with the tools that are unique to our medicine. We will explain how we see the difficulty that your body is having and what can be done to intervene. We will strategize with you and come up with a plan to move things forward on the path of healing.

Active Treatment & Symptom Resolution

In your office visits, we will utilize the tools we possess to help your body to recover.

With Acupuncture, we can stimulate the pathways of blood flow and fluid circulation. These nutritive resources can supply the nervous system with fresh potency, renewing function, restoring growth and resloving pain.

With Herbal Medicine, we can directly supply the organs with new assets. As organ function increases, the tissues of the body become rich with nutrient density. This allows for a recovery of the nervous system that wasn’t previously possible.

We'll have you sleeping in no time!
