Services Offered

In addition to acupuncture, Lisa offers the following services:

     Herbal & Nutrional Therapy - Herbs and/or nutritional supplements can be used to treat imbalances within the body.  Taking herbal medicine will potentiate the effects of the acupuncture and help you get better faster.  In addtion to prescribing nutritional supplements, Lisa will talk to you about how small changes in your diet can help your disharmony.   

     Moxibustion  - This involves burning an herb called mugwort (artemisia vulgaris) and using it to increase circuation and warm the body.  Moxa can expel cold & dampness that cause aches & pains.  It also stimulates blood flow in the pelvis & uterus and can be used to turn a breech baby. 

     Cupping - Cupping involves massaging the body (usually the back) with small glass cups that form a suction with the skin.  The suction draws blood towards the skin surface, thus improving circulation.  It also treats the lungs and can help loosen phlegm & treat coughing & wheezing.    

What to Expect

Prepare to spend an hour & and half with Lisa on your first visit.  She will ask you many questions, feel your pulse and perform TCM tongue diagnosis.  All of this information will be compiled to arrive at a TCM diagnosis of your imbalance and derive a treatment plan to get you on your way to feeling better!

For follow-up visits, Lisa will gather additional information such as progress made with your last visit and any new signs/symptoms you are experiencing.  Your diagnosis and treatment plan will then be re-evaluated.  Follow-up visits last about an hour.
