Services Offered

Acupuncture

The treatment of acupuncture is one of the oldest and most common complementary medicine treatments in the world. 

As part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is most effective when used along with other TCM modalities like cupping, dry needling and herbal medicine. 

David practices acupuncture by using Japanese needles of the highest quality. 

Japanese needles are smaller and sharper than Chinese acupuncture needles. It is because of this that many patients have less pain from gentler, more superficial needling.

Herbs are often added to acupuncture as a supplemental treatment, diet and lifestyle suggestions are also common. 

Performing exercises such as Tai Chi or Qigong may also be recommended.

Benefits of Acupuncture

• Decreases pain intensity
• Helps improve fertility rates
• Reduces frequency of headache or migraine 
• Improves physical function of chronic pain sufferers
• Aids in smoking cessation

Laser Acupuncture

Many potential patients are afraid of needles and reject even receiving acupuncture treatment.

David has lasers available for children and needle shy patients. 

Acupuncture lasers are referred to as low-level lasers or cold lasers since they don’t emit heat. A

Laser therapy can help regenerate cells, reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and promote hair growth.

Advantages of Laser Acupuncture Therapy

• It’s completely painless.
• The procedure takes much less time than traditional acupuncture, which may take as long as an hour on average.
• Laser acupuncture allows you to treat points that might be inaccessible due to age, sensitivity, or fear.
• With proper laser equipment and instructions, it could be done at home, which may be beneficial to chronic pain patients.
