Sam's understanding of the amazing benefits of Acupuncture stems from a young age when he was often a patient requiring treatment from sports injuries. His curious nature led him to seek out how Acupuncture helped reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain which allows the body to naturally heal.
By treating the body as a whole system and addressing the root cause of an issue, Sam’s techniques have shown great results in alleviating pain, as well as reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Treatments can increase energy levels, blood flow, and a patient’s overall sense of well-being.
Sam’s primary focus is to address (but is not limited to);
• musculoskeletal issues (sports injuries, chronic pain, acute pain, sciatica, TMJ, etc.)
• mental-emotional concerns (stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression)
• digestive, hormonal, and fertility issues.
Sam's informative and practical approach combines classical and modern techniques to achieve a sustainably higher quality of life.
Classical and modern techniques include;
• TCM Acupuncture
• Fire Cupping
• Tui-Na Massage
• Gua-Sha (Scraping)
• Moxibustion
• TCM Food therapy
• Electro-Acupuncture
• Silicone/plastic Cupping
• Fascial Stretch Therapy (Dynamic Tui-Na)
• Rolling
In his spare time, Sam likes to strength train, bike, hike, crochet, and play xbox.
