“Hi, this is Steve. My own experience with acupuncture began in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1999 while seeking treatment for chronic headaches that had plagued me since the age of 15. Acupuncture worked so well for me that I decided to learn it for myself. I began my schooling and intensive study of Oriental Medicine during that period of my life. And, my passion for the medicine has continued to grow. It's quite amazing that an ancient form of medical treatment has survived through thousands of years to be relevant today for a wide array of conditions.
Most people that find their way to me are either suffering from a problem or searching for a way to be healthier in their own lives. My ideal patient is perhaps a bit of both, but definitely someone who wants to feel better and is willing to make simple changes.
So, I also educate my patients about the likely causes of their problems as well as incorporating other natural therapies when needed. The style of acupuncture that I practice emphasizes the use of as few needles as possible but with maximum effectiveness. It is appropriate for people of all ages.”
