In my practice, I combine acupuncture with functional medicine. Functional medicine is personalized care that deals with prevention and treating underlying causes, instead of just symptoms, for serious chronic disease. It bridges the gap between conventional and alternative medicine. It is a science-based field of health care using blood, saliva and stool testing along with a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine the root of health issues. It focuses on supporting the body naturally with cutting edge neutraceuticals (not pharmaceuticals), diet and detoxification programs. I specialize in adrenal, thyroid, digestive and hormonal imbalances and pain management.
