“Acupuncture provides safe and effective treatment of pain, without drugs or surgery, as well as treatment of many common illnesses. Most of my patients are referred to my practice by MD doctors when pain relief is no longer being helped through drug therapies. For these patients, the prospect of surgical intervention is a last resort and good doctors today recognize the efficacy of acupuncture and refer accordingly. In my state of New Mexico, most insurances also now recognize acupuncture's success and affordability by including it for their policy holders.
Depending on the patient and the diagnosis, I treat using Chinese or Japanese styles. Besides acupuncture, this may include gentle massage technique, cupping therapy, very gentle electrical stimulation on the needles, laser therapy, moxibustion, or prescription of traditional herbal formulas.
My philosophy is simple: Provide relief for the sick and help maintain the healthy in conjunction with the whole community and community of health professionals. Always spend quality time with my patients so that I know what they want and what they need to better their quality of life.”
