Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Many acupuncture points are below the knees and elbows, so they are easily accessible. Also, make sure you eat before your treatment and avoid vigorous exercise for 1-2 hours before and after treatment. Our treatment is extremely gentle and well-tolerated by even the most sensitive patients.
Over the counter medications don't really work! That's because they only mask the disease without addressing the underlying cause.

Ted is a lifesaver!!! I had tried getting relief from my peri-menopause and hip pain for years. I was so frustrated with not having any luck or improvement with my regular practitioners, ibuprofen, massage therapy, or yoga stretches, I tried acupuncture. Wow! After my series of visits paired with an herbal prescription, my mobility greatly increased and the hip and menstrual pain is so minimal and infrequent. Plus, I rarely use ibuprofen anymore! With his love for & dedication to the art of acupuncture and his professionalism & down to earth nature, I highly recommend Ted for pain management. Thanks

I first went to Ted with chronic migraines. Within six weeks, they were gone. That was almost 10 years ago! Since then, he’s helped me with Lowe back pain from my years of long distance running. We’ve worked on neck and shoulder pain. I am currently experiencing frozen should symptoms in my right shoulder and I have more mobility than I’ve had in months. I’ve also experienced relief from pre-menopausal symptoms. I can not recommend Ted highly enough.
