Classical acupuncture for back pain, sciatica & chronic pain.

Pain has become your close companion.

You've adjusted your life around it. Tried the specialists, PT, injections, medications, maybe even acupuncture. The pain improves for a while, then returns. Or it never leaves at all. It just quiets down enough to become your new normal.

Your pain is a signal, not a glitch to silence. Healing comes from changing the pattern that drives it, rather than muting it. Western medicine suppresses the symptom; Classical Chinese Medicine asks what the body is protecting and what resources are depleted.

What classical medicine sees.

When you were a child, injuries healed quickly because your body had abundant resources. Aging is a process of resource depletion. Classical acupuncture assesses these resources through the pulse (Blood, thin and thick fluids, Jing, Qi, and Yang) and rebuilds them through treatment.

• Fixed in one spot: Dampness or Blood stagnation; worse in cold, damp weather
• Stabbing: Cold in the channels or Blood stagnation; worse at night and in the morning
• Radiating or moving: Heat or Wind patterns, often with fluid deficiency (a pattern also common in migraines)
• Intermittent: Wind or Divergent Channel patterns: latent pathology surfacing when reserves run low
• Won't heal after injury: Qi or Blood deficiency leaving repairs unfinished

How I work differently.

1. Identify the channel system. Pulse, palpation, and movement reveal where the pattern lives, not just where it hurts. Nine people with low back pain will have nine different causes. The same channel-based logic applies to neurological conditions like neuropathy.
2. One patient at a time. A private room, my undivided attention, the entire session.
3. Treat deep patterns. Sinew channels for acute injury, Divergent channels for chronic joints, Luo channels for pain with emotional components, Eight Extraordinary channels for patterns dating to childhood.
4. Rebuild recovery capacity. If your body lacks the resources to heal, relief stays temporary, so we address that alongside your main concern.

Is this right for you?

A good fit if:

• Your pain has lasted over 3 months or keeps recurring
• You've tried conventional approaches without lasting results
• Your imaging is "normal" but your life isn't
• Stress, sleep, or digestive issues accompany your pain
• You're ready to take an active part in your healing, not just receive it

Not the right fit if:

• You want a one-visit quick fix
• You're in an emergency or rapidly worsening situation: seek urgent care first
