“Alleva Acupuncture has been an incredible medical resource.”
“Both Kate and Damon are knowledgeable and thorough, especially in explaining the interconnectedness of various ailments.… After a month of consistent weekly treatments I experienced being pain free for the first time in 5 years after my pregnancy.
Damon also sent me home with knowledge and tools to extend the progress I was making in treatment, with the ultimate goal of more infrequent, tune-up appointments. The acupuncture treatments have also improved my overall health and addressed other ancillary concerns that were impacting my wellness more than I'd realized.”

MEDICALLY TRAINED, STATE-LICENSED, AND BOARD-CERTIFIED
You don’t have to struggle silently with conditions that affect your quality of life.
Chinese medicine diagnoses disease by helping to identify sources of imbalance and disharmony. We work to heal both the mind and body, taking the time to listen to your specific needs, explore your health goals, and develop individualized treatment plans that work toward improving immediate wellness and sustained well-being.
Our goal is to get you better.
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic healing system rooted in the belief that health is achieved by balancing the body’s vital energy, or Qi, through acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, dietary therapy, and movement practices.
Diagnosis
Chinese medicine differs from western medicine in that we don’t rely on external markers of disease to recognize the states of disease. Our diagnostic tools include observation, a detailed set of intake questions, the pulses of the wrists, and an analysis of the tongue’s shape. From here, we determine where imbalances are and develop an individualized treatment plan for restoring harmony.
Treatment
Everyone’s treatment is different, but based on our deep clinical experience, we work with you to establish concrete, detailed, tailored treatment plans that track and measure progress – and ultimately, get you better:
Modalities: We determine whether treatment consists of acupuncture, herbal medicine, bodywork, or a combination.
Frequency and length of treatment: We establish how often we’ll want to see you – and what works for your needs.
Objective markers: We identify milestones and metrics and often use your blood work, MRIs, CT scans, and x-rays to assess, evaluate, and judge progress.
Goals: We keep detailed notes on your activities of daily living, always working toward an end to treatment and a restored quality of life.
“Acupuncture significantly reduces premenstrual symptoms in the vast majority of women studied. From mood swings and insomnia to migraines and digestive discomfort, acupuncture has been shown to bring powerful, drug-free relief.”
