I have been interested in Oriental Medicine for over 20 years and have incorporated acupressure, shiatsu and acupuncture in my previous massage and chiropractic practices. Since finishing my studies at the University of Bridgeport Acupuncture Institute and moving to Glens Falls, I have concentrated on acupuncture although I draw on my previous experience to help patients. I feel that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is more than just acupuncture but a way of life that includes exercise, diet and mental outlook. Acupuncture is a powerful tool that allows people to deal with the stresses of everyday living: work, family, aging relatives, what's going on in the world. Addressing all these demands takes a toll; TCM and acupuncture gives people a mechanism to heal themselves and a place where they can begin to bring balance back into their lives.

I enjoy using my experience to work with patients so they can enjoy living and be less burdened down by the demands of their life.

If you are curious about acupuncture and TCM, contact me and come in for a complementary consultation.

Dr. Jon Kukor is the founder and sole practitioner at Orlando Alternative Health. He holds a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (DTCM) from Five Branches University and is a Board-Certified Acupuncture Physician — one of the few practitioners in the Orlando area with both credentials.

He is also a Myopain Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist (CMTPT), the highest level of dry needling certification in the world. He trained directly under Dr. Jan Dommerholt, the clinician who introduced dry needling to the United States, and currently serves as an assistant instructor at Myopain Seminars.

What that means for you: You’re not getting a generalist. You’re getting a specialist whose clinical training is on par with what pro athletes in the NFL, MLB, UFC, and PGA receive.
