Acupuncture is one of the ancient techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been here for us for thousands of years. It is considered a real medicine and based on very strict and precise diagnoses made by a trained physician. At times Acupuncture may not resolve a symptom; that is not the fault of acupuncture itself and as my teacher always says, it is the Acupuncture Physician that is not at the level required.

Unfortunately in modern times practitioners of acupuncture use more modern versions of Chinese medicine. Over the thousands of years since the original medical classics were written the understanding of the meridians and laws that govern acupuncture were gradually forgotten. As practitioners became more attached to standard point prescriptions, the field also became increasingly dominated by herbal practitioners and the role of acupuncturist was relegated to treatment of rheumatic complaints and paralysis.

There are still doctors that follow the original spirit of this ancient medicine. In this tradition I find myself to be the fortunate student of Dr. Gaudenzio Garozzo who in turn was a disciple of Dr. Nguyen Van Nghi.…and in the time honored way their knowledge has passed from master to student.

I believe that acupuncture can treat many conditions using knowledge past down over millennia – feel free to call us any time to discuss your issues or just to share your life experiences.

I am wishing you a safe journey in becoming healthy!
