Alameda Acupuncture is a group of Traditional Chinese Medical practitioners led by Dr. John Nieters, L.Ac. DAOM. Our practitioners work cooperatively and coordinate care. Our patients have the option to come in six days a week including some evenings and know that we can provide care a moment's notice. This is especially helpful with urgent care orthopedics, colds and flu and in integrative fertility treatments. Offerings include acupuncture, electroacupuncture, cupping, moxabustion, custom herbal prescriptions, supplements, dietary therapy, tui na orthopedic massage, chi nei tsang abdominal massage, exercise and diet plans and cutting edge low-cost laboratory testing, free educational workshops and seminars designed to promote community and sustain the effects of treatment.

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.

Randy specializes in MPT, a quick and easy method to release pain from muscles and tendons.

Lana Moshkovich, LAc, ND, MSOM, trained in both Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), offers acupuncture, as well as a dietary approach, alone or with herbal remedies, to resolve musculoskeletal pain and numbness, gastrointestinal complains, chronic conditions, insomnia, anxiety and women’s health issues. She has opened a new office in the heart of downtown Glenview on the second floor at 1834 Glenview Road.

She states, “My primary goal is to provide my patients with a broader understanding of health and a more lasting sense of well-being. Instead of the traditional disease-centered focus of conventional medicine, naturopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine apply a patient-centered approach that addresses the whole person, rather than simply symptoms.

“I combine the discipline of modern science with the wisdom of ancient healing and take advantage of the knowledge of several disciplines, including dietary therapy, healing touch, tuina therapy and psychology,” says Moshkovich. “What this means is that patient and provider work together to develop an integrated diagnostic and therapeutic plan that will best address the patient’s health concern.”
