Treating Acute & Chronic Pain with Dry Needling and Acupuncture

I have been treating Acute Pain, Chronic Pain, and Sports Injuries with Dry Needling, Electrical Stimulation, Cupping, and Chinese style Acupuncture for 32 years. I have been licensed and in practice in San Diego since 1992.

Some of the folk I have helped over the years have included professional baseball players, iron men/women, ballet dancers, tri-athletes, tennis players, golfers, club soccer players, cricketers, and competitive swimmers.

I have worked with competitive body builders, kick boxers, personal training exerts, and marathoners. And then there are the weekend warriors, and also, of course people with chronic pain who are or are not very athletic.

Dry Needling and Acupuncture can help your neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, knee pain, hip and pelvic floor pain/dysfunction, elbow, wrist and ankle pain.

Internal Medicine Disorders Treated with Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and Ayurveda

I am an expert in treating Internal Medicine disorders with Chinese style Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicines, and  Ayurveda.

In my 32 years experience I have treated a wide range of Skin, Gut, and Respiratory Problems, Women’s Health issues, Anxiety and Insomnia. Acupuncture restores the normal “flow of Qi” so the body can heal itself. Chinese Herbs are natural drugs, that attack infection, clear heat, eliminate dampness, and suppport the “normal” or “upright Qi.”

Ayurvedic Medicine includes the use of Ayurvedic herbs, and the evaluation of your dosha imbalances. Once your elevations are understood I direct you to lifestyle and diet plans that correct the elevations in your dosha.

What Makes a Good Doctor?

What makes a good doctor? Someone with a good head, good hands, and a good heart. Since graduating from Chinese Medicine school in 1992, that has been my aspiration.

Our Job Together

The philosophy of Natural Medicine from Dry Needling and Acupuncture to Chinese Herbalism is to treat the whole person. This often means “treating from the inside out.”

Treating from the inside out means being a good detective. Our job together is to find the causes of your pain or illness and not just put a band aid on your symptoms. My goal is for you to not need to see me!

This method can include showing you powerful corrective exercises from the Egoscue method to improvements in your mental state with Mindfulness practice, and even with Ayurvedic diet.
