I started my acupuncture practice in 1998 after attending acupuncture school in Santa Fe, NM. Since then I have been following Dr. Huo's teachings of qigong, acupuncture and herbs. My patients receive qigong needling acupuncture, herbal treatments and therapeutic exercises. This treatment combination has provided my patients with a very high level of success. I also spend a lot of my personal time training in triathlon which has helped me achieve a very high level of fitness which I have successfully directed towards healing my patients.

Acupuncture in Questa - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. Questa acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.
'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
