Acupuncture for pain management

Dixie Wall combines the best of modern day research and ancient time tested techniques to bring balance, healing and restoration to the body. Her caring team wholeheartedly believes in holistic methods of practice. All components of the body need to be addressed, including the physical, the nutritional and the emotional components. This facilitates healing and complete homeostasis.

We strive to help their patients reach their health goals by getting to and treating the root condition, not just the branch symptoms, of the issue. We are able to provide excellent treatment for a fair fee, and are committed to helping our patients as long as they need it. In doing so, the aim is to help you live a longer, healthier, and happier life.

Practicing in Davis, CA since 1990, I offer traditional Chinese medicine treatment, including acupuncture, Chinese herbs, moxa, cupping, and dietary/lifestyle counseling. I treat primarily women, at all phases of their reproductive lives.

In addition, I am a Spiritual Director and am comfortable exploring the spiritual and emotional aspects of my patients lives with them.
