ACUPUNCTURE/ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE

My main specialties are: musculoskeletal injuries/chronic pain and emotional & psychological conditions. Acupuncture is a holistic practice; therefore several conditions can be treated at the same time. For insurance coverage, in most cases, a prescription is not necessary. It is advisable that you check your insurance coverage prior to setting up an appointment.

First office call: 90 minutes

Return visits: 50 minutes

EAR ACUPUNCTURE
Five small needles are inserted into one or both ears. I generally use this modality for the treatment of addictions and stress. It can be incorporated into your regular acupuncture treatment.

30-40 minute treatment

CUPPING THERAPY
Glass cups suctioned onto the skin are used to treat a wide variety of disorders: sprains/strains, musculoskeletal pain/dysfunction, edema, bruising/swelling, and colds/flu.

MOXIBUSTION
The herb mugwort is burned over the acupuncture needles, acu-point or above the skin to treat conditions of weakness and cold.

TDP HEAT THERAPY
Heat lamp therapy used for chronic pain, cold conditions, spasm and conditions where heat is recommended.

Note: the above modalities are often included in the cost of an acupuncture session.

FACIAL REJUVENATION ACUPUNCTURE
Twelve sessions of face/lift acupuncture performed over a period of several months.

MASSAGE THERAPY
I have 16 years experience with injury treatment. I do a combination of modalities: Swedish deep tissue massage and Neuromuscular Therapy trigger point massage. Massage therapy and acupuncture are an excellent combination for injury rehabilitation. Massage is only offered in conjunction with your acupuncture treatment, in which case an additional 15 minutes will be added to your appointment. Please check with your insurance company to see if you need a prescription for massage, and if there will be two separate co-pays for massage and acupuncture.

ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY-EFT
An acupressure technique (developed from Rapid Eye Movement Therapy) used to treat:

• Stress, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse issues, depression, self-sabotaging behavior, psychological disorders
• Addictions
• Phobias, panic disorder
• Chronic pain and illness
• Enhancement of peak performance and facilitation of new abilities

EFT treatments are available as follows:
Individual session (one hour)
Phone consultation: complimentary 20 minute interview, scheduled session: (one hour/15 minutes)
Business/corporate (‘lunch hour’ small group treatments)

If you are unable to visit our downtown Seattle offices, we offer a special EFT Phone Treatment.  Click here to learn more about this treatment.

Note: A complimentary mini EFT session can be incorporated into your first acupuncture treatment.

OTHER MODALITIES USED
During your acupuncture or EFT session I frequently use the following modalities:

• Muscle testing (applied kinesology) and BodyTalk techniques to gain information about your condition or issue.

• For food, substance or environmental allergies and sensitivities, I spray the acupuncture microsystems of the ear/hand and foot with a small laser light. This may be done repeatedly until the allergen is desensitized.

• I use tuning forks to stimulate additional acupuncture points or to enhance the treatment.

• Ion pumping cords: these “jumper cables” are used to connect two needles in different areas of the body.

A fee schedule is available upon request.

To better serve you and customize the treatment, I often give nutritional advice, suggest supplements and/or herbal applications, suggest exercises, home therapy and stress reduction techniques. I also recommend books and provide additional information gleaned from years of experience in the alternative health care field.

I am a great supporter of the “team approach” to healthcare. Not only do I support the treatments given to you by other healthcare providers; I often make referrals if I feel there is another practitioner who may be of benefit and assistance.
