Knee pain, back pain, and neck pain can be tied to poor mobility in the hips.
We need to keep up our mobility of the whole body, but the hips are so important. Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, external rotation, and lateral movement. The standard exercises you might get at physical therapy aren't enough. We sit too much and squat too little. Free the hips, and your ass will follow.

We heard nothing of promoting wellness or preventing serious disease from the amateur behaviorists, incompetent epidemiologists, and pro pharmaceutical salesmen at the CDC and NIH, whose only blanket interventions were untested behavioral modifications and expensive experimental drugs.

Although Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine can have a positive impact on almost anything going on with the body, I have found myself specializing in 3 main areas:
Mental Health and Stress Management
Women’s Health and Fertility, and
Musculoskeletal Imbalance/Pain Management
I help patients navigate the confusing world of Doctors and Drugs, who are generally chasing symptoms wile introducing new ones. Instead, I provide both cutting edge and traditional therapies to help the body heal itself. Acupuncturists, licensed in the state of California, are capable Primary Care Providers, and are empowered to run Lab Tests and prescribe Herbs, Supplements, and Dietary Advice. I’m able to leverage the full breadth of this scope of practice. I love merging Eastern and Western traditions, seeing each from the other’s perspective. A compulsive life-long learner, I am so lucky to have stumbled upon this rewarding path more than 10 years ago.
Please contact me with any health concerns. Even if you’ve tried ‘Everything’.
And, maybe, especially, if you’ve tried everything...
You don’t even have to be local or see me in person! Acupuncture is one of many ways I can help your body re-balance. I can provide extensive online intake forms, consults, and coaching for you or your whole family. And I can drop-ship custom-prescribed Herbal Formulas and Nutrients to your doorstep.
