Asa’s love and study of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine began in the 90’s while still in the military. His experience now spans 18 years.
The use of painkillers in the USMC to mask pain, in order to maintain operational readiness, was the norm. He naturally gravitated towards traditional methodologies. Now, with many years of private and group practice under his belt, he continues to unlock the physical and mental skills that will give the greatest benefit to those that seek relief.
His practices include local and distal acupuncture methods, tui na (chinese medical massage), cupping and gua sha, and E-stim. He is also an advocate for self-massage, chinese health exercises, and herbal medicine to be practiced between treatments in order to achieve the recovery goals.
He has worked in a variety of settings including private practice, chiropractic offices and community acupuncture in Boise, Idaho. He has volunteered as a practitioner in an herbal clinic in New Yorks’s Chinatown and non-profit low-income and Geriatric clinics in Portland, Oregon. He worked at a pain management clinic in San Diego for two years while doing my first and second academic years in San Diego.
Asa is eager to share his knowledge, skills and abilities as an acupuncturist to help patients on their journey of recovery.
Asa’s favorite things include Tai Chi, travel, time with family.
