I am pleased to announce the opening of the Orange County Acupuncture Specialist in Orange, CA. I am very happy to have the opportunity to practice Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal medicine, massage therapy, cupping, and a host of other healing modalities out of this beautiful new space.
I will continue to specialize in treating Chronic pain, especially low back pain, neck pain, migraine headaches, sports injuries, and of course, the side effects from cancer treatments for which I am so well known.
I have noticed in particular a greater number of patients coming in for treatment for chronic pain due to their office environment. Typically these patients work long hours behind a desk with very few breaks, and compromise their posture for a large part of this time due to fatigue and distraction. After so many hours in a slumped position, or with their shoulders raised, their bodies are misaligned and their muscles go into spasm. Often they will have numbness and tingling in their arms or hands from compression of their nerves by their tight muscles.
In addition to giving acupuncture treatment, I also counsel the patient on the need for proper posture, and teach them techniques to tune into their bodies and be more aware of times they are not using proper posture. In this case an ounce of prevention truly is worth a pound of cure.
