- MRIPlease bring your insurance card and the referral or doctors prescription if you have one. If you have any lab results, x-ray or MRI reports, please bring copies with you. If you are covered under Workers Compensation, please inform me prior to your first visit, in which case I will need a current physicians prescription for physical therapy and your WC #. Wear or bring comfortable, loose fitting clothing or bring shorts and a low cut tank top if appropriate for treating your condition. If the patient is a child under age 18, a parent or guardian must accompany them to the first visit. On this website you will find New Patient Forms that would be helpful to have filled out and brought with you if at all possible. If you are coming for orthotics, please bring any old orthotics or foot beds you already have along with footwear you most often wear.

- SciaticaIt is the fastest way I know to release muscular tension, and works amazingly well to remove pain from both recent and old injuries. It is also an excellent treatment for colds and flu. I apply it most often to the upper back, shoulders and neck (where many people store tension and stress), but it can also be used across the low back and buttocks and down the legs for low back pain, sciatica, knee pain, and menstrual problems; and down the shoulder and arm for injuries and tendinitis.

- Minimally Invasive SurgeryAcupuncture is a form of minimally invasive surgery that involves inserting acupuncture needles (slender, sharp-pointed, stainless-steel medical devices ranging from approximately one-half inch to six inches in length) into specific anatomical sites (acupuncture points) in the body and manipulating (for example, rotating and/or pistoning) them manually for diagnostic and/or therapeutic purposes. Acupuncture points are found in muscle and connective tissue and are located through palpation.

- Sports Medicine“ I am honored to practice this powerful ancient medicine. At this point in my career I am asked to treat a variety of ailments, most commonly pain issues: headaches, shoulder, neck and back pain, sports injuries, overuse injuries and problems following motor vehicle to horse accidents. Other patients come to me for help with colds and flu, asthma, menopausal symptoms, stress and fatigue, to name a few.. It never ceases to amaze me how effective acupuncture and oriental medicine can be for a wide range of issues, and how well it often combines with physical therapy.
- Physical TherapyAlthough acupuncture is much less painful and scary than most people expect, I also understand that there are instances in which non-needle treatments are preferred. Non-needle therapies are a good option for people who are extremely fearful of needles, for people who are unable to sit still long enough for acupuncture treatment, for children, and for individuals with severely compromised immune systems. I often also use non-needle treatments in conjunction with acupuncture and physical therapy with very positive results.

- Manual Therapy3. Physical therapists and other allied health professionals who are not licensed by law to practice acupuncture would have the public believe that trigger-point dry needling is not acupuncture but manual therapy.

- Foot Pain
- MetatarsalgiaThe arch up state comes next, because that is what makes the foot a rigid lever for push off. The foot must wind back up inside to raise the arch and stiffen itself. If the arch stays down you have to propel yourself forward with a mushy foot. That is not only tiring because your muscles have to work harder, it leads to the common foot pains and deformities that afflict millions every day: bunion, plantar fasciitis, and metatarsalgia to name a few.
- Foot OrthoticsThis is why most major studies have shown that typical custom foot orthotics work no better than what you might buy off the shelf at the drug store or supermarket.
- Plantar FasciitisSo what's the big deal? Well..., ask someone who really suffers from a persistent foot pain or a deformity that keeps rubbing into their shoes. Or ask someone who has just had their third surgery to correct a bad bunion. Or someone who is off work because their plantar fasciitis is so bad they can't stand or walk for more than 10 minutes at a time. The fact is, many people suffer from foot disorders and are constantly looking, sometimes desperately, for relief.
