Are you a runner having knee pain? Every spring, as the weather warms up, who can resist the urge to get outside as much as possible? For runners, that means trading the treadmill and boring indoor workouts for fresh air and sunshine! With the added miles and varied terrain, this is often the time of year I see more injuries, both in the gym and clinic- knee pain is one of the most common complaints. At first it’s just annoying. But it lingers and intensifies. Then it starts

Self-care for the lymphatic system has become genuinely popular. Dry brushing, gua sha, cold showers, rebounding on mini trampolines, and lymphatic self-massage are all over wellness content, and most of them have real merit. The lymphatic system responds to movement, manual stimulation, and hydration, and encouraging that at home is a good thing. But there is a meaningful difference between general lymphatic support and lymphatic drainage performed by a trained practitioner.

There is a version of the story that many people with chronic illness know well. Years of appointments. Labs that come back normal. Diagnoses that describe the symptom rather than the cause.

After all, Winter in Traditional Chinese Medicine is seen as a 'yin' season (associated with the energy of inner reflection, darkness, cold, softness, quiet, etc). However, this inward retreat brings up the importance of maintaining 'yang' activities (yang is associated with energy of outward expression, heat, activity, intensity, et

The term 'miscarriage' inherently implies fault of the mother-to-be and is therefore prone to creating a sense of guilt and shame.

We need now more than ever greater confidence in ourselves, our intuition, our bodies, and our immune systems.

Musculoskeletal pain is one of the most common reasons people seek out acupuncture, and it is the dominant reason people seek out physical medicine modalities such as chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, and naprapathy. Assuming a patient’s condition is a right fit for their chosen modality, both acupuncture and physical medicine excel at helping patients find resolutions to their pain. However, from time to time, there are patients who experience minor impro

Each person’s body is distinct, and even the same person’s body is different with each passing day. An individual’s response to acupuncture is idiosyncratic, depending on their constitution, any existing patterns of disharmony, and current life circumstances. There are many ways that symptoms respond to an acupuncture treatment: 1) Symptoms improve gradually after each treatment until resolution or plateau. 2) Symptoms improve after treatment, and (gradually) return before th

“I don’t have time to ( insert behavior that would be beneficial to one’s wellbeing ).” This is something I hear often from friends, family, patients, and at times is something I myself am even a culprit of.
