Knee Pain
Acupuncture is highly efficacious in the treatment of chronic and acute knee pain including tendonitis, arthritis, and post-traumatic and post-surgical injury recovery. I was fortunate to study under the auspices of the great Prof. Wae Shui and learned his phenomenally successful approaches for the treatment of knee disorders. I owe much of my clinical success to his development of modern acupuncture. As a result, patients with meniscus damage, arthritis, and ACL, MCL, and LCL disorders can expect significant positive outcomes. This includes non-surgical and post-surgical interventions. In addition, athletes can look forward to improved performance and stability.
Allergy and Sinus Relief

Neck Pain
Acupuncture treats many forms of neck pain and numbness. Current research from the National Institutes of Health confirms that acupuncture is successful in treating many forms of neck pain. One of the most common sources of neck pain is a pinched nerve. The nerve roots emerge from the spine and travel down the neck, shoulders, arms, and to the fingers. Patients often feel neck, shoulder, or upper back pain. Others experience symptoms such as numbness of the fingers or pain traveling down the arm. Acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural responses to allow the nerve fiber to heal.

Foot Pain, Plantar Fasciitis
Acupuncture treats plantar fasciitis and many other forms of foot pain. This includes neuromas and nerve impingement numbness and pain referred from the low back, knees, ankles, and local regions within the foot. Plantar fasciitis is often a combination of nerve entrapment within the foot combined with referred pain from other areas of the body. Electroacupuncture and standard acupuncture are highly effective for this treatment process. My patients have enjoyed clinical successes for the treatment of foot pain for nearly two decades at my Capitola clinic.
