Acupuncture & Moxibustion
The HALo Effect
Acupuncture is the insertion of small filiform needles into certain strategic points which elicit a series of endocrine, hormonal and biochemical reactions in the body. This healing technique activates the innate healing processes within in each patient's body and can restore their physical and emotional well-being. Nationally Board Certified Acupuncturists help patients with more than "just" painful conditions- from auto immune, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, allergies to anxiety and depression. Chinese medicine is vast in its ability to treat the WHOLE person. Call today to find out how we can help you.
Cupping
HALo Rings
Cupping therapy has been used for centuries in Chinese Medicine (and in other cultures as well) to disperse stagnation (tight muscles, phlegm or even cellulite) and to release pain. Cupping is typically used in conjunction with acupuncture, but it can be used as a stand alone treatment. Made popular by athletes, cupping therapy is most well known for improving recovery from exercise or injury.
Women's Health
You...powered by nature
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used to treat women's health conditions for thousands- that's right- thousands of years. This ancient knowledge plus up to date scientific information provides the best and most effective treatments for patients. While many only think of acupuncture for pain control, the World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture is effective in treating many women's health conditions including infertility.
Children's Health
Little HALo Effect
Developed in Japan, Shonishin (show-knee-shin), which translates as “small children needle”, is a gentle, non-invasive effective alternative to acupuncture for children ages birth to 10. It is also an excellent treatment method for adults who are very sensitive or suffer from needle phobia. Pediatric acupuncture, like all traditional medicine, is holistic and emphasizes total wellbeing and the ongoing care it takes to maintain it.
Homotoxicology
HALo adjuvant
Homotoxicology is a branch of German Biological Medicine that incorporates homeopathy, herbology, and pharmacology. The use of these remedies are based on the theories of one of the oldest Chinese Medical texts in existence (the Shan Han Lun). This is a 100% natural adjuvant to acupuncture which relies on many of the same principles, but has the added benefit of providing a gentle yet effective form of treatment while outside of the office. Protocols are normally combined with acupuncture therapy and last about 6 weeks in duration before I re-evaluate to determine the next group of remedies needed, if any. These remedies are safe and effective for even the most sensitive patients and bring about profound positive results.
Ion Cleanse Foot Bath
HALo Detox
The IonCleanse® by AMD helps the body detox through the healing power of ions. Ions, because of their powerful charge, cleanse the body more effectively than any other method of detox. The process is safe, relaxing, and non-invasive, with no harmful side effects. Typically several sessions between 20-40 minutes are necessary to obtain the full benefits of the treatment.
Polyvagal Therapy & Acupuncture
HALo Auditory Intervention
The Polyvagal Theory proposed by Dr. Stephen Porges specifies two functionally distinct branches of the vagus nerve. The more primitive branch elicits immobilization behaviors, whereas the more evolved branch is linked to social communication and self-soothing behaviors. The vagus nerve is implicated in many chronic illnesses including Rhuematoid Arthritis, Diabetes, IBS and Chron's because it is called the wandering nerve and it innervates almost every important organ system in the body.
This is a unique combination of acupuncture therapy and polyvagal treatment designed to directly and postively impact the vagus nerve to reduce fight or flight, allow you to enter into rest and repair mode and reduce inflammation.

I felt soothed, energized, and “hopeful” in your presence. You felt like such a kind and knowledgeable practitioner - and, of course, YOU ARE. I have had great results from your treatment!!!! It really feels like a miracle. I can’t tell you, Caroline, how exciting this is for me. I don’t know how you did it, but I am MUCH MUCH better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I am truly glad I had a perfect introduction to acupuncture with you and really can't thank you enough. I am going to to make acupuncture a part of my life and will be all the better for it. I can truthfully say that today is the first day I'm feeling any issues with my achilles heel; not bad, just a bit of soreness. I had 4 days without pain and that is a first in many, many months.
D. G.
I am happy to report for the first time in 10 years I did not need medication to go to sleep, my shoulder is less painful and my knee has barely hurt all day. And to top things off I've had much more energy and have not felt as stressed. So thankful for you and the healing you administer.
D. A.
Your treatments are life changing. Thank you for your amazing wisdom and healing.
