WINTER SOLSTICE - THE COMING OF THE LIGHT
WINTER SOLSTICE marks the turn from Fall into Winter, and in traditions around the world, it is a time for inward reflection and a celebration of the coming of "light." It is both the shortest day of the year, and conversely . . . the longest night. One of the most important Chinese and East Asian festivals is the Winter Solstice Dōngzhì Festival (Chinese: 冬至; pinyin: Dōngzhì; lit. 'winter's extreme') celebrated during the Dongzhi (winter solstice) between December 21 to Dece

Vertigo – A Holistic Approach to Treatment
WHAT IS VERTIGO Vertigo is a type of dizziness where the person feels a spinning or swaying movement, typically accompanied by nausea, sweating and difficulty walking or standing. It is intimately involved in our sense of equilibrium (our sense of balance) and can come on suddenly and without warning.

A Holistic Approach to Orthopedics - Part I:
Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine - A Whole Body Approach Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapies approach from a holistic and whole-body approach when treating our athletic and active-minded patients. We begin with having a new patient fill out a full Health History form, followed by a short telephone or virtual interview discussing lifestyle, diet, physical habits, sleep position, etc. This all occurs before the patient even enters the clinic.

STAYING AT HOME - EASIER SAID THAN DONE . . .
We are 27 days into self-quarantine, and I gotta say, this is tough! Doable, but quite challenging. Flatten the curve . . . social distancing? Hey, I'm totally on-board because I want us all to get back to our lives sooner than later.

We hope you're weathering this "Time out" as best
