Acupuncture can provide a tremendous boost to your wellbeing and is a natural, effective method to manage various forms of pain. Sadly, many veterans are not aware of this service covered by the VA. My mission is to bridge this gap and make sure you know about and can access this beneficial therapy.

Specialized Orthopedic Acupuncture and Nerve Pain Treatment

With a specialization in orthopedic acupuncture and nerve pain (neuropathy), my practice provides specialized care for common issues such as back pain, shoulder pain, foot and ankle pain, and more. My comprehensive training, along with personal and professional experience, equip me to offer excellent results for these common discomforts. I'm here to help reduce your pain and improve your quality of life.

A Unique Approach to Orthopedic Pain for Veterans

What makes my practice unique is the use of a myofascial approach in orthopedic acupuncture. I look beyond just the obvious symptoms and aim to rebalance the soft tissue and biomechanics of your body that are often major contributors to joint and nerve pain. This comprehensive treatment philosophy allows me to address the root causes of pain, resulting in more effective and lasting relief.
