Your Natural Health Responsibility

When seeking acupuncture treatment, remember that you are a part of the natural health equation.  Denver acupuncture patients are probably the healthiest around, yet everybody wants to get better FASTER.  Depending on the seriousness of the condition for which you are trying to improve, you may see immediate results from Acupuncture, or you may need several treatments before you begin to see changes.

With chronic health conditions, it's very important to realize that it took years to develop this state within your body, and so, it will take some time to reverse the "dis-ease", and re-train your body to regain it's normal healthy state.

You should not expect a magic effect to come from acupuncture for your chronic condition such as fibromyalgia, PCOS, celiac disease, smoking addiction, obesity, etc.  As stated earlier, YOU are part of the equation.  But going to your Acupuncturist regularly may not even be enough.  You must take action to improve your lifestyle so that you can create an environment for the change to take place.

At Healing Traditions Oriental Medicine and Wellness, seasoned practitioner Gina Mortellaro-Gomez, B.A., M.S.O.M., L.Ac., C.H., NCCAOM Dipl. O.M., FABORM, is more than an Acupuncturist.  With each visit, you are counseled, coached, encouraged, and taught a healthy lifestyle.  Gina incorporates western approaches such as bloodwork analysis, nutritional advice and functional medicine with an advanced practice of Chinese Medicine, Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture.

Many patients simply get in the way of their own progress.  Gina is not only your physician, she becomes your counselor and motivator to help you stay on track, so you realize and learn from your own habits, and create new habits and a lifestyle that brings your body to the healthiest state it can be.
