To speak of specialties in Oriental Medicine is somewhat of an oxymoron. This medicine’s view of the client's entire being is so all-encompassing that it precludes a narrow view. Yet one’s experience, interests, and skills undoubtedly engender greater resonance and comfort in treating certain patterns of disorder over others. Indeed, our very own karma plays a pivotal role in the clients we attract and the conditions we treat.
Many of the skills we call specialties are our response, as physicians, to the conditions our client's bring to us. Rare today, for instance, is the client who is not experiencing some degree of intestinal dysbiosis and some stage of adrenal stress, not to mention the influence of chemical or metal toxins from the environment. These conditions are nearly indigenous to experiencing human life in this period of time, in this culture. They are the result of diet and lifestyle, as well as exposure to the considerable physical, mental, emotional, and toxic stresses of modern life in the industrial world. These toxic stresses are like nothing humanity has heretofore experienced. Pharmaceutical drugs, environmental pollutants, herbicides, pesticides, food additives and denatured foods, noise pollution, light pollution — the list of damaging influences to which we're subjected is staggering. Any responsible health care professional must hone one's skills to address this onslaught and its consequences.
Since the beginning, these issues have been focal points of my studies, and have taken precedence in guiding each client to a new level of well being.
Without addressing these three, the client can only expect partial success and erratic health.
Resolving any one of these three is a complex and multifaceted journey in itself. And each journey is unique to each client. By default, these issues have become my primary specialties. Everyone is experiencing them to some degree, and until they are resolved, the client's health is compromised.
Other areas of interest include conditions which respond remarkably well to the insights of Oriental Medicine. They are so utterly gratifying for both the client and myself that it would be a disservice not to mention them. They include...

While internal medicine has always been my primary interest, in 1995 I embarked on a course of study culminating in certification for acupuncture orthopedics — in other words, a specialty in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, most of which manifest as pain. Since that time, my interest and study has followed both paths: internal medicine and orthopedic medicine. Each has brought insights to the other. In practice, the two flow seamlessly together, and my clients appreciate the balance this brings to their experience.
Clients often arrive at my door with an incorrect diagnosis for their pain — common ones are arthritis, degenerative disc disease, or bursitis. Drugs and surgery are usually the recommendations offered by conventional medicine. At Future Medicine Now, the vast majority of the time, a correct diagnosis leads to resolution of the problem through utilization of the techniques we use.
These techniques are...

These results are accompanied by more energy, more strength, and the acquired wisdom to make lasting change.
