Michael is a native
of Pennsylvania from Wilkes-Barre. After attending King's College in
Wilkes-Barre, he moved to New York City to receive training as a hemodialysis
technician. He practiced in ambulatory kidney clinics in N.Y.C., Bethesda
Md., and Florida.
In
1986 Michael was a passenger in an unfortunate auto accident that led
to ongoing back pain. Years later, while receiving a massage treatment in
Florida, he was impressed by a therapist who cleared up this condition.
Due to this experience he became a licensed massage therapist.
Over a period of 20
years while working at hotel, resort, and private practice, he administered
thousands of massage treatments and cleared up many chronic conditions. Some years later, he was
in another auto accident which he resulted a shoulder injury that only a
Chinese acupuncture doctor was able to resolve. Therefore, Michael decided to enroll at Florida College of
Integrative Medicine in Orlando where Michael earned a Master's
degree in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.
Michael relocated
to Pennsylvania to be closer to family and friends. He began is acupuncture
practice in 2012 in Shippensburg, PA. and opened a satellite office in the
Harrisburg area. Micheal is currently
licensed by the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine as an Acupuncturist.
He enjoys music,
ballroom dancing, hiking, nutrition, reading, writing, gardening and
relationship with his beautiful, talented and loving girlfriend.
Acupuncture is one of
the oldest, most commonly used forms of medicine in the world. Originating in
China more than 2,500 years ago, acupuncture is currently one of the most
thoroughly researched, practiced, and respected forms of complementary medicine
available anywhere.
According to Traditional
Chinese Medicine, your overall health is determined by the quality of the Qi
(energy) flow through the natural pathways of your body (meridians).
Acupuncture uses a variety of techniques, including placing very thin sterile
needles into specific points on the body, to stimulate and improve your Qi
flow.
The many benefits of
acupuncture include:
· Pain reduction, Pain removal and function

Add-Ons to Acupuncture
Treatments:
Cupping
Cupping has been a part
of Chinese Medicine for over 2,500 years. It relieves aches and pains, improves
circulation, and also helps with respiratory and digestive issues. I simply
place a specialized "cup" onto specific points on your body, and then
use suction to draw your skin up into the cups. It doesn't hurt — it simply
draws fresh blood to that area of your body, which facilitates the cleansing
and strengthening of your Qi (energy). The end result is a greater overall
sense of health and well-being.
Add-On Cupping-$20
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a
Traditional Chinese Medicine technique that involves the burning of mugwort, a
small, spongy herb, to facilitate healing and health. Moxibustion has been used
for healing purposes throughout Asia for thousands of years. The purpose of
moxibustion, as with most forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is to
strengthen the blood, stimulate the flow of Qi (energy), and enhance your
overall vitality and health.
Among other benefits, a
landmark study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in
1998 found that 75.4% of women suffering from breech presentations before
childbirth had fetuses that rotated to the normal position after receiving
moxibustion at an acupuncture point on the bladder meridian.
