Rick’s interest in auto immune illness and treatments began long before his formal education. Initially it was to help his family's history of chronic pain and auto immune illness, but has grown into almost two decades of knowledge and experience. His interesest in treating auto immune patients became more of a mission since his youngest daughter's life was threatened by an auto immune illness when she was just six years old.
Treating chronic pain often comes with the territory of supporting patients with auto-immune disease. Rick has mastered many techniques for treating pain over the years, including dry needling, and especially likes to work with our Veterans. With over sixteen years treating chronic pain, auto immune and infertility he has also developed a proficiency for helping stress, anxiety, and depression as they are common threads often shared by these patients.
Rick loves a challenge as he is accomplished in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Japanese Acupuncture, Auyervedic Acupuncture (Marma Puncture), and Korean Acupuncture. He has extensive knowledge of herbs, supplements, and will help guide his patients through the confusion of diet and lifestyle changes. He is happy to share his skills and experience to give his patients the tools they need to live to their full potential, achieve their goals, and enrich their lives.
