Arthritis & Joints
Stiff, achy joints can make everyday life feel like a negotiation. I help people with arthritis and joint pain move more freely and hurt less — without just masking the problem. My focus is on calming inflammation, improving mobility, and supporting your joints for the long haul.
Conditions I Treat
- Knee Pain — arthritis and degeneration making stairs and walks a struggle; treatment to ease pain and improve function.
- Shoulder Pain — achy, stiff shoulders that limit reach and sleep; I work to restore comfortable movement.
- Neck Pain — cervical arthritis and joint stiffness; targeted treatment to loosen and calm.
- Back Pain — spinal arthritis and facet joint pain; I treat the joints and the surrounding support system.
My Approach
When joints hurt, everything compensates — and those compensations create new problems. My approach starts with the joint itself: orthopedic acupuncture to calm inflammation, improve circulation, and reduce pain right where it lives. Then I step back and look at the whole picture with functional medicine — your inflammatory load, movement habits, and recovery factors that determine how your joints feel day to day. The goal is simple: less pain, better movement, and joints that hold up.
Supplements I often suggest
For arthritis, these are the supplements I suggest most often in my practice:
- Inflammatone (Designs for Health) — Herbs, nutrients, and enzymes that help modulate the inflammatory response.
- Turmero Active (Apex Energetics) — High-absorption liquid curcumin for joint comfort.
- OmegAvail Hi-Po Fish Oil (Designs for Health) — 1,600 mg EPA/DHA per serving with lipase for absorption — no fishy aftertaste.
