An honest partnership. Although Oriental medicine has techniques for healing many conditions, some problems are dealt with more quickly by Western medicine — and in those cases Dr. Lin will recommend you see a physician. Healing is an educational process: patients become more aware of their bodies and of how diet, exercise and rest maintain physical and mental well-being.
Recognized by the World Health Organization
A WHO interregional seminar identified dozens of conditions that lend themselves to acupuncture — across the respiratory, digestive, neuromuscular and other systems.
Clinical studies have since supported acupuncture for low back pain, osteoarthritis, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, post-operative nausea, stroke rehabilitation and addiction.
