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.

I often describe what I do as using the time honored art of acupuncture
to allow individuals to live as well as they possibly can. I say this
because: Though relatiively new to the west, Acupuncture has been in
continuous use for thousands of years in the East and can arguably be
named as the most used system of medicine in the world. I view
acupuncture more of an art than a science. successful treatment, in my
experience, is based on balancing multiple principles that are involved
in Chinese Medical philosophy, rather than chasing symptoms. In doing
so, I am repeatedly inspired by witnessing how my patients are able to
live with less pain and discomfort, and more fully then before.

Here at our Rockville, MD acupuncture center, we specialize in a different style of acupuncture therapy, not widely available. This method is more than 2000 years old and comes from the I Ching, one of the oldest books in the world. This method has several names such as: I Ching Acupuncture, The Balance Method, or Distal Point Acupuncture. No matter what you call it, the effects often seem miraculous to patients.

We commonly use points that are distant from the site of the symptom. Pain relief frequently occurs in seconds and long lasting relief over a series of treatments is usually at least 80%.

We have successfully treated patients with a wide variety of health conditions over the last twenty years, and we can help you too!
