What can acupuncture treat?

I often get asked what Acupuncture can treat. I say everything then try to elaborate as that answer still gets questions.
Acupuncture is phenomenal at treating the following, to name just a few things...
Erectile Dysfunction
BPH
Menopausal Symptoms
Irregular Menstrual Cycles
Depression/Anxiety
Headaches/Migraines
Pain (back, neck, knee, elbow, etc.)
Insomnia
Allergies
IBS
Constipation
Diarrhea
GERD
Asthma
Weight Loss
Addiction/substance abuse (along with rehab)
Frequent urination
Incontinence
Diabetes
MS
Rheumatoid arthritis
Lupus
Hypothyroidism
Facial Palsy
Adrenal fatigue
Fibromyalgia
That enough for ya for now? You can always contact me to discuss weather whatever condition your experiencing is well treated with acupuncture.
Also, it's great for maintaining good physical, mental & emotional health well-being even if you don't have a "problem/issue".

Breast Tests

I was recently reading an article about the differences between mammography & thermography testing for breast cancer detection. What I got out of the article & what I get out of most articles, is that a more well rounded approach is always the best. Both of these exam methods have their advantages & disadvantages (I won't go into them here) but used in conjunction, offer a more comprehensive look at breast health.

Mammography  is done by compressing the breast, taking an x-ray & reviewing what is in the breast tissue. Thermography looks at heat levels in the vasculature of the breast. Areas of heightened temperature indicates inflammation which could be an early sign of of cancer or other breast abnormalities.

To me, one of the most important things you can do before even heading to your yearly well woman check, is being sure to do your self checks. With the world now at our finger tips, you can find umpteen videos, graphics or other descriptions of how to perform a self breast exam online. You can ask any one of your physicians, including myself, how to do it. Then do it every month!!

Breast cancer is what we all worry about but there are other issues that can affect breasts that are also problematic & need medical attention. So gals & guys, pay attention!! Self exams Do save lives!!!!

Need Supplementation

Did you know that WHA consults in & offers Standard Process products & supplements for you & your pets?

Chinese herbs are my love but there's so many great Western herbs & food therapies out there too that can't be ignored!! If you need that boost because your over-the-counter stuff your taking isn't cutting it (who knows whats in that stuff anyway), let's chat higher quality herbs & supplements. We can also talk about cleansing/detoxifying to get you on top of your health!!
