How our Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment plan helps you feel better fast.

  • Pilates Pose

    Acupuncture is proven to suppress pain.

    MRI studies have found that acupuncture activates pain suppression in the brain. The therapeutic effects of acupuncture are accumulative and repeated exposure to acupuncture leads to longer-term suppression of pain.

  • Acupuncture

    Acupuncture calms the immune system.

    Acupuncture has been demonstrated to regulate immune response and since RA is an autoimmune and inflammatory disorder, it can help regulate the immune response and produce anti-inflammatory effects.

  • Yoga at Home

    Acupuncture heals the joint tissue. 

    Acupuncture increases blood flow and improves microcirculation in the joints. With more blood, there is more nourishment to the joints and surrounding areas which helps them heal faster.
     

  • Herbal Medicine

    Targeted nutritional supplements reduce excessive inflammation and help joints heal. 

    We will ensure that we carefully choose the right supplements to reduce damaging inflammation and at the same time infuse the damaged area with critical nutrients that support healing and optimal function.

  • Fitness for future mothers

    Results are accelerated with simple dietary and lifestyle changes.

    We have simplified protocols that are sustainable over the long term. No hardcore diets or 40 pills a day supplement routines. Once you feel the positive changes in your body, you will never want to go back to your old habits again.

    Transitional Care As Things Stabilize

    Once we see stable improvements, we will begin to reduce the frequency of visits.  Initially, you’ll come every other week, then once a month for a couple of visits, then you will no longer need regular treatments. Because RA is a chronic condition, you might need to come back if you have a flare-up.

     

    Of course, MANY of our patients do wish to continue with “ongoing maintenance” and we are happy to work that out with you, should that be your wish.

  • 5.

    Taking Care Of Your Friends and Loved Ones

    We pride ourselves on the fact that 80% of our new patients are referred to us by other patients or people in the community who have witnessed their friends and loved ones receive life-changing benefits from our work. So, we very much look forward to helping YOUR friends, family, and loved ones on THEIR journey to a more joyful, energetic, purposeful life.

Common Questions and Answers

Does it hurt?

We use very thin needles and they are inserted with a very gentle technique. Often you will not feel when needles are inserted.



How long does it take to see results?

Many patients see results after the first treatment. Acupuncture instantly induce the release of natural painkillers and endorphins, which are the most powerful relaxing substance the body makes. Treatments do build upon itself. The more treatments you get, the better you will feel.



Will I have to keep coming forever?

The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way. However, since RA is a chronic condition, occasional tune-ups might be required and treatments will be needed during flare-ups which are going to be less frequent and less intense.



Is natural medicine REALLY powerful enough to help my RA?

Absolutely, natural medicine actually helps your body make more of its own medicine, which is more powerful and potent than any man-made medicine.



How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments you’ll need depends on your age, your overall health, and for how long have you had your symptoms. Because your situation is unique, we will be able to tell you more about this after you do your free consultation.



Your initial consultation is free. Come meet us in person and learn more.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Over the past years, my husband and I have used the professional services of Karla on many occasions and for many different conditions.  We have found she has a true concern for her patients. She takes time to listen and then treats the problem(s). In each case, Karla did extra research to check the latest treatments and then proceeded to further treat us. The result has always been positive. We have both agreed that she treats you for a period necessary to show results and then releases you, rather than keep you coming back as some other practices do. Thank you, Karla, for your concern and the use of your hand in a tender way when inserting needles. It is often that we will say..."have you put a needle in?"...since we felt no pain or insertion. We will certainly be back whenever her skills are called for.”
