Thanks for visiting my website and considering Chinese Medicine as an aid to your health and healing. I am no longer in practice in Oakland, CA and currently considering where to relocate. I am still offering herbal consultations via zoom or phone. Please contact me at hello@ catielowder.com if you are interested in that.
Acupuncture is helpful for a wide range of ailments and especially effective for facilitating the healing of acute and chronic pain conditions. I have training specifically in orthopedic acupuncture and anatomical knowledge that facilitates the accurate and effective treatment of trigger points in muscles (often referred to as “dry needling”), affected ligaments (similar to prolotherapy), or nerve pathways (such as those involved in radiating pain from a herniated disc or wrist and hand pain from neck injuries or carpal tunnel syndome). Shoulder pain, low back pain, sciatica, knee pain, ankle sprains, wrist and hand pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, and migraines all respond very well to treatment.
Herbal medicine, especially in conjunction with acupuncture, is a powerful modality for treating and healing so many things! Custom herbal formulas are especially helpful for digestive problems (like GERD, gas and bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, SIBO, constipation), hormonal issues (like PMDD, menstrual pain, irregular cycles, migraines, perimenopause, hot flashes, night sweating), and general depletion leading to exhaustion and burnout.
