East Meets West Preventative Medicine integrates prolotherapy, acupuncture, and the Art of Jin Shin to address the root cause of pain and restore balance in the body
Why Chronic Joint Pain Doesn’t Heal On Its Own
Many chronic shoulder, neck, upper back, and joint problems are not simply caused by inflammation or tight muscles. In many cases, the deeper issue is weakened ligaments and tendons that no longer stabilize the joint properly.
When a joint loses support, the body often responds by tightening nearby muscles and changing movement patterns to protect the area. This can lead to recurring pain, tension, headaches, stiffness, and symptoms that keep returning no matter how much stretching, massage, or rest you try.
SI Joint / Sacrum Instability
Low back pain, pelvic imbalance, hip discomfort, sciatica-like symptoms, or pain that moves into the leg may sometimes begin in the SI joint and sacrum.
When the pelvis loses stability, the body often compensates through the low back, hips, glutes, and legs. This can create pain patterns that feel confusing and frustrating because the symptoms may appear far from the true source.
Knee Instability & Compensation
Knee pain does not always stay in the knee. When stabilizing tissues weaken, the body often recruits muscles above and below the joint to help protect it.
This may lead to recurring knee pain, tight quads or hamstrings, calf tension, hip discomfort, altered walking mechanics, and reduced confidence on stairs or uneven ground.
Patient Questions & Care Options
Many treatments may include 2–5 supportive modalities depending on your condition and goals.
These may include acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, Chinese herbs, bodywork, acupressure, movement guidance, or other supportive therapies recommended by Dr. Aaron.
Each visit is individualized to help you receive the most effective care possible.
Every person and condition is different.
Some patients experience relief quickly, while chronic or long-standing conditions often require a series of treatments to create lasting change.
Traditionally, care is given more consistently at first, followed by reassessment and a customized maintenance plan if needed.
Dr. Aaron can help guide the right treatment frequency for your specific goals.
Much of modern healthcare begins after symptoms appear.
Preventative care focuses on supporting balance before stress becomes illness or pain.
Regular acupuncture, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Chinese herbs, movement practices, and healthy lifestyle habits may help improve resilience, recovery, and long-term wellness.
Taking care of your body consistently often saves time, money, and suffering later.
Oriental Medicine views the body as an interconnected system of energy, circulation, structure, and function.
When flow becomes blocked or imbalanced, discomfort and symptoms may develop.
Treatment aims to address root patterns rather than only suppress symptoms—helping the body restore balance and heal more naturally.
This approach may also include guidance for sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, and lifestyle habits.
Consistency is often more powerful than intensity.
Small regular steps—such as acupuncture, bodywork, herbs, movement, breathwork, or simple wellness routines—can create meaningful long-term results.
Preventative care helps you stay ahead of stress rather than always recovering from it.
Patients who know they want ongoing care may benefit from multi-session punch passes.

AIT means the injection of herbs, homeopathics, and other nutritional supplements in the form of sterile substances into acupuncture points/original site of the pain caused by acute or chronic injury or inflamation, to promote, maintain, and restore health and to prevent disease.

Jin Shin Jyutsu: an ancient healing art that works similart to acupuncture, but without needles. It removes Qi/energy blockage by using hands-on flow patterns, to release pain and illness, resulting in deep relaxation and restored energy.
Neoclassical Pulse Diagnosis: thousands of years old art to obtain more information from the body that is “unseen” by modern machines, to uncover the underlying root causes of pain and illness.
Koren Specific Technque: a biomechanical correction to the body, that is gentle but powerfully effective.
Nasal Release Technique is a powerful structural technique that adjusts the bones of the skull. This was developed by Dr. J. R. Stober of Portland. The procedure uses a small finger cot affixed to an inflatable device which is inserted into the nasal passages. The balloon inflation presses outward against the bones lining the breathing passages and adjusts the sutures of the skull, particularly the sphenoid. This ultimately relieves the forces that have gone into the skull by releasing any impactions in the cranial sutures. For more information: conquerconcussion.com
