Acupuncture has been long recognized as a very successful way to treat, and manage pain — without the use of traditional Western drugs.

The medical practice of Dr. David Green, and Green Acupuncture, focuses on an integrative approach — integrating Western medicine and traditional Chinese Acupuncture. Dr. Green understands that the typical Western approach to medicine is to break the problem down into smaller and smaller sections and subsections — until you get to a single “problem.” This typically leads to people going from one specialist to another in order to try to solve problems that may seem independent of one another, but may be viewed as symptoms of one overall cause.

Most of us have come to understand our problems in terms of individual small problems; whereas traditional Chinese medicine views all problems as being symptoms of a whole-body imbalance.

By treating the body as a whole, and rectifying the underlying imbalances in our bodies, Dr. Green is able to reduce pain significantly — to the point where most of his patients go back to their traditional Western doctors and are able to get off, or greatly reduce the use of, their pain medications.

A typical situation where most people have trouble understanding how traditional Chinese acupuncture can integrate with Western medicine, is whenever a sports injury occurs.

Most people understand a sports injury to be a single, one-off event that is the result of simply over extending, falling, blunt force trauma, breaking, or spraining parts of the body. There is not a lot of understanding about how underlying conditions in the body could have predisposed the athlete to those types of injuries. And there is also a lack of education about how the body compensates for those injuries — and what symptoms are experienced as a result of the body’s overcompensating.
