Manually Supporting the Body Through Detox
One of the most significant roles that manual therapy plays in treatment is encouraging the body to use its own resources to heal itself. This means that the main focus of my practice is to support the body through the healing process- whatever that may mean at the time.
Biopuncture for Allergies
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been in practice for thousands of years, but is ever-evolving, encompassing new modalities to continue to grow our methods of treatment. One of the decades-old methods I use is called biopuncture or acupuncture injection therapy. Injections of small amounts of natural remedies can be done superficially under the skin or into muscles to stimulate the body to heal itself.
Spring Has Sprung

Detox Diet
If you enter the words “Detox Diet” into a Google search, you will find at least 10 pages of sites promoting many different detox diets. Advertisements for detox diets make several exciting promises, ranging from weight loss and the elimination of cellulite to feeling healthier overall and having beautiful, glowing skin. Pretty inspiring but do they work? And how do you choose the right one?
Detoxification
There is no separation, really, between us and our environment. There is no separation between the quality of the air we breathe and the oxygen that flows through our lungs and into every cell of our body. There is no separation between the health of our water supply in our oceans and rivers, and the health of our blood and fluids that course through our arteries and veins. There is no separation between the food we eat and health of the soil, plants and animals that we share this planet with.
Healthy Eating
There is a lot of talk about “Paleo” or “Caveman” diets in the media. Dr. Christie has distilled the most important take-home points that make sense for your health. Much of the benefit from Paleo-style diets are due to the elimination of modern, industrial food products.
Acupuncture – Does it Hurt?
One of the first questions asked of anyone doing acupuncture is, “Does it hurt?” Even before they ask me, I tell every new patient before their treatment that acupuncture is not painful.
