As an acupuncturist, I provide more than just acupuncture. I like to use my hands and cupping when muscles and tendons are sore or injured. If food and diet is an underlying cause, let's discuss realistic dietary changes that will help you to feel better right away. You're stressed? Anxious? Need to make a few changes in your life but not sure where to start? Let's talk about it.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, disease contains two parts analogous to the roots and branches of a tree. The symptoms are like branches, and if you only treat them, the same roots will soon grow the same symptoms again. To effectively heal, one must address the root cause of the of illness so the tree may grow healthy branches. Additionally, two people may both experience a similar disease but have very different underlying root causes. Likewise, two others may have very different diseases but have the same root cause. At Rooted Medicine, Andrea Hingst L.Ac. MSOM, draws from experiences in integrated hospitals and private practice to combine traditional Chinese therapies with modern functional medicine to identify each individual’s unique foundational imbalance to heal from the roots up.
