Acupuncture is based on the idea that your body has energy or Qi (pronounced "chee") flowing through channels or meridian lines throughout the body.  By the insertion of a fine solid sterile needle, an acupuncturist can move energy when it is not moving and direct that energy to those areas of the body that are lacking in energy, thus helping the body to regain the balance it has lost.  Acupuncture stimulates the body's own healing process to bring about change and balance which ultimately restores one to health. 

Some of the benefits of acupuncture are an overall sense of well--being, improved sleep, increased energy, stabilized mood swings, reduction or elimination of pain, reduced joint stiffness and many more health benefits depending on the specific illness.

Acupuncture needles are fine, flexible "filaments" (the size of a piece of hair) and rarely draw blood when inserted.  Patients describe the sensation as a muscle twitch or a tingling feeling followed by a feeling of warmth.  After the initial anxiety is overcome, patients usually feel relaxed and have been known to fall into a light sleep-like state.

Acupuncture is widely used for helping patients with ACL. I
have been treating hundreds of patients with sports injuries. The MRI result is a key factor for your treatment strategy. If your ACL is completely torn,the surgery will be needed. Acupuncture will help your postoperative
pain and rehabilitation. If your ACL is not completely torn, you may stay in a conservative treatment. Acupuncture can relief your pain; reduce the inflammation and swelling; increase the blood circulation and nerve signal
transduction in order to restore the functions.

I have been treating a lot of children with Autism, Asperger's syndrome, ADD, ADHD. As you know, Acupuncture is a "no harm" remedy for different kinds of illnesses. Scalp Acupuncture can help balance the blood supply, regulate the immune system and neurotransmitter secretions. A child also does not need to be restrained on a bed.  He can have a treatment sitting in a chair or on a parent's lap.

Patients have reported an immediate improvement after even the initial visit. However, depending on each individual case, it is recommended that a visit of at least once a week over a three to four week period is made in order to maintain and regulate satisfactory results. The goal is to taper visits gradually with minimal follow-ups or on an as-needed basis.

The cost of each office visit ranges from $50-$130, depending on the individual evaluation of the patient.
