✍🏼Case study:
Following a motor vehicle accident, this patient presented with PTSD symptoms, cervical whiplash, chronic migraines, and persistent neck and shoulder pain, along with signs of autonomic nervous system dysregulation and musculoskeletal compensation.

Treatment consisted of acupuncture + cupping 1–2 times per week over approximately 9 weeks. Care focused on nervous system regulation, reduction of migraine activity, restoration of cervical range of motion, and release of myofascial restriction in the neck, jaw, and upper back.

Outcomes included:
• Significant reduction in migraine frequency and intensity
• Increased cervical range of motion
• Decreased pain and inflammation
• Improved nervous system regulation with less anxiety and hypervigilance
• Greater sense of calm, clarity, safety, and overall bodily centeredness

This case highlights how trauma recovery often requires addressing neurological and musculoskeletal systems simultaneously.

Touch is where medicine begins. 🫶🏼

Beyond the learned in the pages of a book, Acupuncture requires listening with the hands, sensing tone, temperature, resistance, and ease in the patient. Over years of working with bodies, something subtle changes: the points begin to reveal themselves. Not as abstractions, but as living places that can be felt.

Bedside manner is not an “extra.”
It is a necessary part of the treatment.

How a practitioner enters the room, how they place their hands, how they attune to the nervous system—these things matter. Touch can calm, invite trust, and signal safety. In that state, the body becomes receptive to change.

A patient made this painting for me using my logo, in the Japanese Enso tradition — a single brushstroke expressing presence, wholeness, and imperfection.

The characters reference trust and family.
This practice feels like both to me… a place that grounds me, just as I hope it offers grounding to others.

I’m deeply moved by this gift, and by the relationships that grow quietly through this work.

Winter can be beautiful — and also heavy.
Shorter days, colder weather, less sunlight, and more time indoors can quietly amplify anxiety, low mood, fatigue, and emotional stagnation for many people.

From an acupuncture perspective, winter is a time when the body naturally turns inward. When we’re already sensitive, overworked, or depleted, this inward pull can tip into depression, worry, rumination, or feeling “stuck.”

✨ How acupuncture can support mental health in winter:
• Regulates the nervous system and calms stress responses
• Supports sleep and circadian rhythm disruption
• Improves circulation and energy flow when the body feels sluggish
• Helps process emotions that feel stuck or heavy
• Nourishes the systems most taxed during winter (Kidney + Heart in Chinese medicine)

Acupuncture doesn’t force happiness — it gently creates the conditions for balance, resilience, and steadiness, even during the darker months.

If winter feels harder than it “should,” you’re not alone. Your body may just be asking for deeper support. 🤍

Herbal Therapy at Applepuncture

At Applepuncture, our acupuncturist and herbalist Luciana prescribes classical TCM herbal formulas tailored to your unique pattern—not just your symptoms. We use high-quality patent formulas that are U.S.–grown, thoroughly tested for purity, and produced under strict safety and quality standards. They’re consistent, safe, and easy to take.

Modern research has examined many of these herbs through a scientific lens, revealing measurable effects on immune function, digestion, inflammation, stress response, and circulation—beautifully aligning with their traditional uses.

What makes TCM herbal therapy unique is its individualized approach. Luciana selects formulas based on the root pattern beneath your symptoms, meaning two people with the same complaint may receive different herbal support.

✨ 🍎 Holiday season = busy minds + buzzing nerves.
Shopping, family dynamics, travel, work deadlines, gift lists… it’s a lot.
Many of us start to feel it in our bodies — tight shoulders, shallow breath, anxious thoughts, interrupted sleep.

Acupuncture is my favorite ways to help the nervous system downshift.
Each needle signals the body to relax — moving us from “fight or flight” into “rest and restore.” The breath deepens.The heart rate slows. The mind softens.
Suddenly, the body remembers:
I am safe. I can exhale.

If you’re craving a moment of calm (or a Power Nap) amid the rush, this is your reminder that you don’t need to push through the season on empty.
Give yourself the gift of regulation— a reset that supports your mood, immunity, digestion, and sleep.
