Lori Gilbert, Licensed Acupuncturist Acupuncture and Chinese medicine has been proven to benefit health and well-being, by helping the body's own Qi (or energy flow) to harmonize in balance. Chinese acupuncture and herbal medicine have been used for thousands of years to help natural healing of the body, mind, and spirit. Modern-day findings have proven its effectiveness in many diseases. In an acupuncture treatment I may prescribe some herbal or dietary supplements to assist your health management or healing process. Mainly I treat pain, trauma, allergies, and women's health issues, in my practice. For allergy and substance sensitivity, I have a specialty in NAET, Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique. NAET is mainly an acupressure technique, and need not use needles (although I prefer to use them, as they can make the treatment stronger. I do not use needles for NAET on children under 12 though. NAET works just as well without needles.) In my practice I sometimes incorporate EFT, (Emotional Freedom Techniques) a painless and needle-less acupressure treatment that is especially helpful for emotional traumas, allergies, and dealing with fears and other emotional issues. It is also wonderful for children or anyone who may be afraid of needles. I like to spend some quality time with you during your first session, getting to know you and what your goals are, in order to set up a program that will work best for you and your condition. I can assist you from healing a painful condition, to helping you cope with a chronic condition if that is what is needed, to assisting you through life-changing events, to making you as healthy as you can be. I can help you with weight management and quitting smoking, too! My goal is to help empower you to take charge of your own health when you're not in my office, by giving you tools to use at home for yourself in between treatments and after your course of treatments is finished. In this way you may maximize your pain relief and health benefits. If you are under the care of another medical practitioner, I can help you work with them for your best benefit. Feel free to email me or call for questions about your own situation.. Acupuncture sessions at our new office at 10390 Coloma Rd, Suite 3, in Rancho Cordova, are priced $90 for the first treatment, and $65 thereafter. I also offer packages for 5 or 10 sessions in advance at a discount, and have discounts for seniors 60 and over. Please call 916-284-1892 for your appointment. I look forward to meeting you!
