Katherine McCune D.O.M., L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.

Dr. Katherine specializes in pain management and orthopedic treatment using Chinese medicine. Chinese Medicine has a long history of treating orthopedic issues and offers a variety of approaches to pain management, focusing on addressing the root cause of the pain rather than just masking the symptoms. Some of the most common techniques used for pain relief are acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and qi gong. The benefits of Chinese medicine for orthopedic issues include pain relief, improved mobility, reduced inflammation, and faster healing time. It is important to note that Chinese medicine is not a one-size-fits-all approach to pain management. Dr. Katherine will work to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs and diagnosis.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the application of extremely thin needles in strategic points on the body called acupuncture points. Stimulating these points promotes natural healing by setting off a chain reaction of biochemical reactions, which ultimately boosts your immune system, decreases pain, and improves overall health.

Chinese Herbology

Chinese Herbology is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to achieve a better quality of health. Herbs are used for a wide variety of ailments such as insomnia, PMS, high blood pressure and IBS. Formulas are customized to each patient to facilitate healing and balance within the body. Herbs are sourced from the highest quality manufacturers meeting all GMP requirements, and are free of contaminants. 30 minute herbal consults available as individual treatment.

Cupping

Cupping is a form of deep tissue therapy and is often times used to treat muscle aches and pains, as well as respiratory issues, colds, and flu. It is a popular treatment among athletes, and cupping marks have been spotted on Olympic swimmers and gymnasts alike. Heated glass cups are applied to the body to create suction which increases circulation of blood and lymph. Cupping can be added to your acupuncture treatment, or available as an individual treatment when appropriate.

The-Origin-of-Acupuncture-and-Moxibustio

Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a form of fire heat treatment that stimulates specific acupuncture points of the body. The term is derived from the Japanese “mogusa” meaning herb (mugwort) and the Latin “bustion” meaning burning.

Moxibustion is an adjunct therapy which is often used with acupuncture. The gentle warming effect of mugwort is highly effective in treating pain, as well as other conditions such as menstrual cramps, colds, and flu.
