- Are you coping with chronic physical or emotional health issues? Yes.“Most people in the industrialized world do, despite having their physical needs met. That is why we recommend downloading and reading John’s e-book, ‘How to Thrive in the Modern World: A Layperson’s Guide to Chinese Medicine.’”
- Do you wish you had less stress and more energy? Yes.“Chronic stress changes your internal chemistry and restricts blood circulation. Acupuncture relaxes your mind and body. It regulates stress hormones and improves circulation and energy.”
- Are you looking for a safe, effective alternative to drugs or surgery? Yes.“Acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulas are a gentle, proven method of assisting your own natural healing mechanisms. They are non-invasive, non-addictive, and enlivening.”
Gentle and Safe: We use sterile, one-time-use needles. They are ultra thin, and patients sometimes don’t feel even them entering the skin. They are inserted shallow. When a needle touches their qi (life energy pronounced “chee”), some patients feel a sensation for a second. In most cases, we leave each needle in for only a few seconds to activate the qi.
Individualized Care: We see one patient at a time. The initial appointment lasts up to two hours, and the following sessions last an hour so we can provide you with the level of care that facilitates healing.
Conditions: Acupuncture, being part of a comprehensive health system, has been shown to benefit people with a wide range of issues, including the following: pain, fatigue, gastrointestinal diseases such as IBS and Crohn’s, other systemic and organ dysfunction, skin conditions, allergies, asthma, insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, weight loss, injuries, post-surgical recovery, cold and flus, wellness, and much more.
We have a particular interest in treating patients who have gastrointestinal disease, stress, or low energy. At our clinic in Gainesville, we do so by getting to the underlying cause rather than alleviating symptoms alone. Because we treat patients with holistic medicine, they often see significant improvement in seemingly unrelated conditions. Herbal formulas, nutritional counseling, and lifestyle coaching are also important ways we support you and your health goals.
