As a rehab physician, I base my practice on using the most evidenced based treatments possible to enhance function, reduce pain, and increase health and wellness for my patients. Therefore, treatment plans must include a western medical practices and be complemented by eastern medicine practices, especially acupuncture. I pride myself on being an expert diagnostician and truly appreciate the way that Chinese medicine practitioners/acupuncturists base their treatment on regular assessment, thereby maximizing benefits for their patients. As a cancer survivor myself, I owe much of the reduction of treatment side effects and return of function to my personal experience with acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

Acupuncture is widely known to treat several ailments and has been effectively used for the treatment of muscular skeletal pain as well as other orthopedic and neurological conditions. The practioners mission is not to identify and treat the disease entity, but to characterize the disharmony of each particular case, so the condition can be corrected.

Receiving acupuncture treatments from Christina certainly has made a difference in the plantar fasciitis that I suffered from for
over a year. In only one treatment, the pain and discomfort was reduced to a bare minimum! I have also worked with Christina professionally in the medical field and appreciate her expertise in the area of neurological and orthopedic diagnoses. This "East meets West" medicine-based education certainly makes her a well rounded acupuncturist practicing complementary medicine in a medical model society.
