Acupuncture is based upon a simple premise: we experience symptoms because energy is not moving freely through our body. The type and severity of symptoms is determined by the amount and type of blockage of the flow of energy, or as it is called in Chinese medicine, “qi.”

Acupuncture is a central component of Chinese medicine, and has been studied extensively by the conventional medical establishment. Studies have found it to work significantly better than placebo – and often better than medications – for a wide range of conditions, including headaches, chronic pain, IBS, and allergies, among others.

We also utilize acupuncture to address trigger points and chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes that will respond much more quickly than with other treatments that are used to treat these issues.

Acupuncture visits typically last for 30-45 minutes. The treatments are commonly used in conjunction with other naturopathic therapies that might be used in a treatment plan. Acupuncture can be very effective in the treatment of a wide range of symptoms, including headaches, allergies, Lyme disease, pain, chronic fatigue, insomnia, hot flashes, and many other issues.

Getting to the root of things...that's why Dr. Fisel chose to study naturopathic medicine as an alternative to conventional medical school.

When he discovered the philosophy of naturopathic medicine, he thought it seemed like the perfect career path: a doctor that’s trained to use both conventional and traditional approaches so that patients can have choices in their healthcare needs.

Naturopathic doctors (ND) are licensed to practice as primary care physicians, relying more on natural therapies to treat their patients rather than pharmaceuticals and surgery. They attend four year accredited medical schools that are structured similarly to conventional medical schools.

The first two years consist of coursework in basic sciences, such as biochemistry, anatomy and physiology.

The last two years are spent doing clinical rotations and studying conventional clinical diagnosis and treatment.

In addition, NDs are also trained in the natural healing arts, such as clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, spinal manipulation, homeopathy and mind-body medicine. To obtain their license, NDs must pass a series of rigorous basic science and clinical board exams. They typically practice as primary care providers or family medicine doctors.

Move your body. This is a huge part of managing anxiety.

Movement helps release endorphins that fight off cortisol, naturally. AND…the added benefit of movement is that it burns off energy and helps you sleep better at night.

This is just one tip, but I would love to offer more suggestions if you are someone who tends to be anxious or overwhelmed when starting the new year.
