Acupuncture is one piece of a complete medical system known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which dates back over 2,000 years. Acupuncture is the insertion and manipulation of sterile, single-use, flexible, hair-thin needles at specific points along energetic pathways of the body in order to improve physiological function and promote natural healing. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body's vital energy (qi) flows in a regular pattern, along energetic pathways or meridians, nourishing all systems of the body and mind and promoting optimal communication. This can be thought of as a web-like network throughout the entire body and brain, connecting and supporting all organs and tissues.

Traditional Chinese Medical theory is a holistic model, where nothing is seen in isolation, but in functional relativity to the whole. Disease is treated by treating the root of the problem, the origin of disharmony, restoring health to the entire system. In a healthy person, all systems of the body and mind function smoothly and there are no symptoms of illness or discomfort. Pain and illness arise out of imbalances or blockages within the system. A blockage can be thought of as a dam on a river. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body forms disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of daily life such as trauma, overwork, inadequate rest, improper diet, environmental pollution, bacteria, viruses, and excess emotional stress and worry. Acupuncture stimulates different points on the body to restore the smooth flow of qi.

From a western standpoint, acupuncture points stimulate the nervous system to release endorphins and other chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals can change the experience of pain and will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system. It returns the body to its natural balance and promotes the body's ability to heal itself.

“The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.” - William Osler

And the best physician will teach you how to heal yourself.

Dr. Geralyn Kruger, DACM offers a synergy of the Chinese and Japanese lineages of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Nutrition, and Functional Medicine. Her mission is to help people uncover the root causes of complex dis-ease presentations that belong to this modern age, by bridging the ancient wisdom of Traditional Eastern Medicine with the precision of modern-day Functional Medicine.

Her passion and drive stem from her own journey, where she has had to learn how to heal multiple autoimmune and complex conditions throughout her life that were missed by the conventional medical model. Insight alchemized from these lived experiences is woven into the tapestry of how she practices medicine and has cultivated a deep empathy for those that walk through her door. Dr. Kruger provides exceptional care for her patients creating highly individualized treatment plans targeted to achieve their health and wellness goals, by gently restoring homeostasis and encouraging clear communication between the body and the mind.
