East-West Medicine includes Acupuncture with a Functional Medicine Approach.  Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is supported by 2000 years of empirical clinical evidence in writing.  Acupuncture is the most effective natural modality to naturally manipulate the central nervous system and improve health. Upon insertion, each acupuncture point will send a message to the central nervous system via the afferent nervous pathways. The effect may be to strengthen an organ function, relax a muscle, rejuvenate a nerve, stimulate a function, sedate a function, regulate blood circulation, and help the central nervous system to restore health without the use of pharmaceuticals and surgery. This process can offer self-sustained results and has been proven via functional MRI’s at the University of California, Irvine. Sometimes an electrical stimulator can be used for Percutaneous Electronic Nerve Stimulation (PENS). This technique is known as electro-acupuncture and is one of Dr. Barrett’s specialties. Electro-acupuncture is superior for injured muscles, stimulating circulation, treating infertility, fibroids and rejuvenating nerve and muscular function after a stroke, injury or surgery.

With a 2000-year evidence base, Acupuncture can be relied upon.  After a treatment, patients feel relaxed and rejuvenated with partial or total relief of major symptoms.  Acupuncture treatments may be combined with other forms of Traditional Chinese Medicine such as Diet and Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Physical Medicine, and Therapeutic Exercises for a truly functional approach.   Many patients enjoy monthly treatments as part of Dr. Barrett’s Wellness Track™.
