Modern acupuncture and integrative care in Santa Cruz for orthopedic pain, sports injuries, and repetitive stress recovery.
Twenty-five years of orthopedic experience. Strategic, individualized care.
You are not a symptom.
You are a pattern — shaped by movement history, sports training, repetitive work strain, and recovery cycles.
For 25 years, this practice has focused on identifying structural imbalances and treating them with clinical precision.
Every session is individualized. Every treatment is strategic.
No assembly-line acupuncture. No rushed protocols.
Just thoughtful care designed around how your body actually recovers.
Experience changes the way you assess pain. It changes the way you approach recovery from injury and the way you manage the impact of aging on the body.
After more than two decades of specializing in orthopedic acupuncture, my approach is less about reacting to local symptoms and more about resolving the root patterns of dysfunction. Whether you are an elite athlete or navigating the physical demands of a long career, you benefit from seasoned insight—not guesswork.
The shoulder that never fully recovered. The back that tightens before you even step onto the field. The repetitive strain that makes work feel like a hurdle. The subtle aches of aging that have begun to limit your mobility.
Your body isn’t failing you. It’s signaling that it needs calibrated support.
Acupuncture works by regulating the nervous system, improving blood flow to damaged tissue, and breaking the cycle of chronic inflammation — restoring the resilience you need to stay active.
Targeted treatment for acute injuries, surgical recovery, and optimized athletic performance.
Resolving chronic strain patterns from ergonomic stress, tech-related posture, and overuse.
Strategic support for joint health, mobility maintenance, and managing the cumulative impact of an active life.
Whether you’re managing repetitive strain, recovering from injury, or navigating the impacts of aging, care here is individualized, thoughtful, and deeply grounded in experience.
