Mike and Margaret moved up from the over-sized state of Texas at the end of 2013, just in time for the winter of all winters in Louisville, Kentucky. They both really like acupuncture and really only community acupuncture at that. It makes this job a lot more fun.
Both Mike and Margaret have completed acupuncture and Oriental medicine training at AOMA - Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, TX and are both certified as acupuncturists by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure and the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).Margaret comes from a small town in West Texas called Marfa.

What is Acupuncture
Report
Acupuncture is the shallow insertion of sterile, single use needles to specific points on the body. If this does not sound weird to you, it probably should. Who wants needles stuck in them? Not everyone, but lots. Acupuncture is a safe and effective remedy for a variety of conditions. It has survived for thousands of years as a healing modality.
Treatment Planning
Report
Here's a handy little document to give you some idea up front what to expect with regards to treatment planning. Again, this is how we find acupuncture can work best: with regular frequent applications. That frequency varies with regards to what is going on, but we want you to get a sense and not think we are going to tell you something completely different when you get here.
Cupping
Report
Cupping therapy is a simple technique of using a glass bulb to create a strong suction on muscle and connective tissue. Cupping has many therapeutic uses, but we use it as an adjunct treatment for musculoskeletal issues, primarily of the back and shoulders. You can think of it as fairly intense, deep tissue work.
Dry Needling
Report
Dry needling is a technique of using the acupuncture needle to release trigger points in muscle fiber. These irritations can build up in muscles from over-strain or repetitive stress. Everyone has them to some extent. All muscles develop them. All activity gets repetitive or fatiguing at some point.
Chinese Herbs
Report
Acupuncture and Oriental medicine training often involves a lot of study about Chinese herbology. At least it did at our acupuncture school. We currently stock a small pharmacy of about 20 patent formulas and topicals. A patent is an herbal formula that has been decocted and been put into a tablet or pill form.
