Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are incredibly potent healing modalities. These modalities help individuals experience less pain, improved energy and more broadly connect us to the deep healing well of resources that our bodies contain. Our bodies are so intelligent. We can utilize acupuncture and herbal medicine to tap into that innate intelligence in order to help ourselves feel balanced, healthy and well.
While potent, powerful and very useful, I very often make referrals for complimentary therapies so that each individual patient can feel empowered with a holistic care team. No one therapy provides the complete promise of health and wellness. When we understand which experts to lean on for the benefit of our entire system, we give ourselves the greatest chance for the most successful outcomes.
