Emergent Healing

“Maintaining order rather than correcting disorder is the ultimate principle of wisdom. To cure disease after it has appeared is like digging a well when one already feels thirsty, or forging weapons after the war has already begun.”

"Anthony is an incredible body worker. He has been consistently able to reset my muscular tension over the years. His strong and direct touch is aimed at freeing up the large muscle groups to bring relief, healing and freedom of motion. If you're dealing with chronic tension or pain in your legs, back or shoulders, he'll set you straight. I'm so grateful to have found his practice."​

"I had an issue with pain in my bicep. I went to physical therapy for 3 months, but the pain did not subside. My tennis coach recommended Anthony. I saw him for 3 visits and started feeling relief. I did the stretches he recommended and watched the videos he sent me. My weekly appointments became monthly. I continue to see Anthony and he is now working on other issues with me. I highly recommend him!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Emergent Healing. I've been working with Anthony for several years and he has helped me tremendously. Through learning exercises for my muscles, as well as his needle techniques and massage, Anthony has nearly cured my migraine suffering I've had since childhood. Anyone who has experienced a migraine knows how significant this is. I went from having 2-3 migraines a week, to about once a month. In addition, I have done different kinds of acupuncture treatments with him that proved to be helpful. The thing I like most about Emergent Healing is its integrative approach. He doesn't just immediately dismiss Western medicine. Each session is unique, where you learn new things to do at home to ease chronic pain, while also experimenting with herbs and diet. He has magic hands! It is 100% worth the money."

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that has been in use for over 3,000 years. It’s used to help address a full array of illnesses. Acupuncture uses stainless steel filiform needles, placed in specific points throughout the body to activate energy (qi and blood) in order to alleviate and address issues.

All ailments in the body in TCM are perceived as an imbalance of some kind. Acupuncture can aid in creating balance and thereby address most dysfunctions, maintain good health, and get closer to the path of healing.
