OUR PHILOSOPHY
Our philosophy is to ask: "why is it that your body does not heal by itself?" And "How can we make it so that your body will regain the knowledge and/or strength to do so."
​
Japanese inspired Acupuncture
very fine, no pain needling technique. Needles are inserted as a result of palpation based diagnosis and point verification.
​
Electro-Acupuncture,
​
I mainly use the Japanese simulator Ito F3. These electo-acupuncture simulators can be used on needles as well as on magnets. This technique uses electric pulses to stimulate the needles . The stimulation is very gentle and reaches threshold only.
​
Low Level ("cold") Laser Therapy
​
I use 640nm and 840nm lasers that help the tissue reduce inflammation and heal. This is a local treatment modality where lasers are used to reduce scar irritations, close wounds that do not "want to heal", Injured and/or inflamed joints (such as post operative), etc.
​
Cupping
The cups I use are modern, glass suction cups. Although I like the old style "Fire cups", I found that the action is the same (since I combine cupping with other modalities) but cleaner and not so frightening to my younger patients.
​
Palpation based Kinesio taping
​
The tape is the same, but the application is a little different. Since there are so many ways to tape each given location, I choose the way (direction of tape) of taping by palpation. I test the action of the tape to see how and where to apply the Kinesio Tape.
ORTHOMOLECULAR & herbal formulas
​
Most of the time I wait a little before prescribing herbs and supplements. I found that it is more accurate to go by the diagnostic findings and result of the first couple of acupuncture treatments before I can "Zero-in" on a specific formula. When I do, Vitamins, herbal formulas and/or Indian herbal preparations are used to achieve a certain action. Then when the goal is reached, the herbs are modified and (eventually) stopped so that the patient sustain health with correct nutrition and movement.
​
Nutritional advice
Very touchy...
​
Based upon palpatory findings and the first acupuncture treatment results, I try to work with Orthomolecular nutrition as a healing method to be kept and modified for optimal health. I base my advice on cultural and traditional concepts, scientific findings, as well as life experience and logic. I am very much aware that nutritional advice is a personal and sometimes very hard to modify. However, some things that we consume are poisons and I try to point these out, offering many health alternatives.
