Many of us take care of our cars and homes for maintenance. For example, you take your car in for an oil change every 3,000 miles. Why do you do that?

In my never ending search to educate people about health and well being, I look at illnesses and see what is the root cause. Usually it is a lifestyle issue. And once people are a little more educated about what they are doing that is actually making their condition worst, they can consciously choose to do the right thing. Hernias, Diverticulums, Hemorrhoids and Prolapses are different names given to what seems to me as the same condition. The different names correlate to different parts of the body or internal vs. external disorders, but ultimately they all entail a collapse occurring. These conditions are often caused by a pre-existing weakness which is prone to collapse with too much internal pressure in that area. That’s why I always tell people NOT TO PUSH

Seeing many patients at my clinic I have come to the realization that we must expand our definition of success. For many, success is monetary. The more money you have or make, the more successful you are. However, many of these people come into my clinic with severe health issues. Now my definition of success is being happy with my career, having leisure time for friends, exercising and monetary gain. Unfortunately, when we put too much weight on one aspect of our lives, something is going to be deficient or become lacking. I see many people who work hard and are quite wealthy, but there

Bi-Polar disorder is basically when one has high highs and low lows. Now in my treatments, I focus on keeping the patient more in the middle. What that means is that I work on keeping the patient in a calm and relaxed place. Now if you’ve been working out for a year, and stop for a couple of months, does that mean that you’ll loose the muscle mass that you developed the prior year. Of course not. Likewise, if you stay in a relaxed space, it will be that much harder for you to feel stressed or anxious or down and depressed. Acupuncture with Guided Relaxation will actually allow you to release “feel
