Hi, I’m Jim. And I’m not your traditional acupuncturist.
I grew up skateboarding and playing ice hockey then found a love for tennis as an adult. The wear and tear on my body led to injuries, preventing me from doing the things I love, like coaching my son’s hockey team and working out with him. And that just wasn’t an option.
Traditional acupuncture helped but wasn’t enough. So I started incorporating biomechanics, physiology, and corrective exercise into my own care. And it changed everything.
I knew I had to make a shift in how I was treating my patients. I now specialize in sports acupuncture therapy. So I can get you back to living your active lifestyle and doing the things you love too.
You’ve seen everyone and tried everything, from physical therapy and massage to traditional acupuncture and chiropractic care. But all you got was short-term relief. Doing nothing and cycling through temporary fixes only keeps you sidelined. It’s time to identify the true underlying cause of your symptoms so you can eliminate the pain, and get back to doing the things you love.
Here are some blog posts to get you started.
