Why Our Natural Treatment for Back Pain Is So Effective
You Get More Control
When you understand the factors that are causing your pain, it is empowering. Our treatment model is to get you well F-A-S-T! We have no interested in having a practice full of patients coming for “maintenance” visits. We will put the power of healing back in your hands.
Your body is not a machine
Your doctor treats pain as though it is a mechanical issue, like you are a robot with interchangeable parts. Our approach is different: We treat the body like a garden. Our experience is that the right nutrients and other lifestyle factors amplify your body’s natural healing capability, nourish the nervous system, reduce inflammation and create endorphins–powerful healing chemicals.
You are not a number
While your doctor is computing blood tests and x-rays, we are evaluating your unique presentation. We are experts at determining whether lifestyle–or a number of other factors–are affecting your pain condition–things that your doctor doesn’t consider.
Pain is in the brain
The way the brain functions can really work against chronic pain patients. The brain develops well-worn “pain pathways” that become the status quo. So, while you may think the pain is in your back, research shows that it may actually be your brain that is the culprit. Neuromodulation techniques like acupuncture and mind-body medicine are fantastic at helping the brain develop new neural pathways.

Our Program
Step One: Evaluation
We complete a full medical evaluation to determine the root cause of your pain condition.
Step Two: Comprehensive Treatment Plan
Next, we come up with a clear, concise, and focused treatment plan to attack the root cause along with any other symptoms you might be experiencing (such as poor sleep, low energy, and problems with mental focus and mood).
Step Three: Implementation Phase
Your practitioner will determine the root cause of your pain condition and implement an effective treatment plan. According to your wishes, the plan may include Acupuncture Treatment, Cupping, Gua Sha, Targeted Supplements and/or Dietary Therapy. We also have add-on pain therapies available such as PEMF Therapy, LED Therapy, and AcuPatching™
Acupuncture
Acupuncture balances the nervous system, enhances circulation, and dramatically reduces stress – all of which benefits your pain condition. It has a powerful neurmodulation effect to overcome the pain pathways ingrained in your brain. Your body will be bathed in endorphins–the feel good chemicals.
Mind-Body
We will share meditations, affirmations and other self-healing practices that will help reduce your stress. Reducing stress is key to recovering from pain and for modeling new neural pathways.
Supplements
Targeted nutritional and herbal supplements. Herbal medicines have been used for centuries to reduce inflammation and increase circulation. They also restore depleted glands and balance your endocrine system which can be the key to success for chronic pain conditions.

F.A.Q.
Common Questions
How does acupuncture treat pain?
Acupuncture reduces inflammation, improves blood circulation and relaxes muscles, tendons and soft tissue. It enhances your neuroendocrine axis, and regulates your hormone and endorphin levels. Acupuncture helps your brain create new neural pathways which overcomes the “pain pathways” that become ingrained in chronic pain conditions.
How long does it take to work?
Everybody is different and the length of treatment varies. We’ve seen it take as little as 4 weeks and as long as 12 months.
What about herbal medicine?
We may recommend an herbal formula based on your specific presentation. Herbal medicines have been used for pain issues for thousands of years. They reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation and help restore depleted glands and hormones, all of which can affect your pain condition.
Do you include dietary guidance?
You will receive specific dietary recommendations based on your unique needs.
