Many of my patients don’t realize that I have undertaken specialized studies in Auricular Acupuncture and on the Five Elements Theory in order to keep ahead and to discover new and effective treatment methods.
I have been certified at the first level of Auricular Medicine, a discipline that is being practiced by only about 150 people in Canada. You may remember that Blue Jays pitcher, Jeremy Accardo, underwent this type of acupuncture to treat a level 2 Groin Sprain, and was able to regain his full range of motion after only one treatment! He was injured on June 21 and with the help of Auricular Medicine, he was back pitching 5 days later.
The good news is that if you are afraid of needles I can use my laser prob and get just as effective results!
I have also undertaken advanced studies in the Five Elements Theory. It was great to see physicians, neurologists, psychiatrists, and other health practitioners in the course (I was the only acupuncturist)! More and more main-stream health practitioners are looking more and more to alternative healing tools offered by TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine).
Despite my obvious bias, kudos to them for striving to offer their patients more than just a prescription!
