I originally went to see Alastair b/c my elbow and ankle issues were hindering my very competitive tennis lifestyle. The relief from the intense pain in my elbow was tremendous & the swelling in my left ankle in particular was taken care of completely with acupuncture & in conjunction with FSM. His holistic approach is unique to him and I’m sure will benefit anyone who puts themselves in his care, healthcare at its best.

First off, there isn’t enough stars to give for how fantastic Alastair is and his therapy. I went to Alastair because I was tired of going to the emergency rooms, and to doctor’s offices being told its just heavy periods. When it would happen, I couldn’t walk, all I could do was crawl to the bathroom and back to bed. I was holding my left side where it hurt. After a few times of seeing Alastair, I no longer had “heavy periods”. I also had Alastair focusing on allergies, (sinuses), migraines, and other things. I stopped getting migraines, sinuses infections, and my allergies were much better! I have more energy, feeling better. No more trips to the emergency room, and no more crawling on the floor to the bathroom, or missing work due to “heavy periods”. Alastair and his different therapies work, and he is fantastic at it. Thank you for getting me out of crawling and pain!! Visit him for feeling way better!!

I appreciate how professional Alastair is. He asks questions to understand the root issue, explains the process, and is informative when I ask questions. Also, he keeps his facility clean and organized.

I plan on continuing services and have been recommending him to friends and coworkers.

The Healing Landscape of Scalp Acupuncture

Published February 2, 2026

Many healing journeys begin in unexpected places. For some, recovery starts not in the muscles of the back or the ligaments of a knee, but in the quiet landscape of the scalp, an area often overlooked except for styling, washing, and the occasional headache. Yet, for many people seeking relief from neurological, physical, and emotional challenges, scalp acupuncture is

Chinese & Japanese Acupuncture: Two Traditions, One Lineage

Published January 19, 2026

Both Japanese and Chinese acupuncture spring from the same classical East Asian medical roots, yet they diverged over centuries into distinct clinical styles. In Japan, techniques evolved toward gentler, highly tactile methods. And in China, the practice of acupuncture tended to emphasize stronger needle sensation and standardized point prescriptions within Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as TCM. While some

What is Five Element Acupuncture?

Published January 5, 2026

Five Element Acupuncture is a classical style of East Asian medicine that organizes diagnosis and treatment around the dynamic interplay of five phases/elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each element is associated (in this framework) with organ networks, emotions, sensory patterns, and seasonal cycles. Treatment aims to restore harmony among these elements when one becomes predominant or deficient.
