  • Below are disease states that are indicated to be addressed by acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. The unique diagnostic systems of this medicine allow for it to be adapted to help treat nearly any clinical and sub-clinical disease. This list is therefore not exhaustive.

    However, the following is not a guarantee for a cure of any specific condition. People in situations in which their lifestyle is in direct opposition to their healing goals will be guided in how to change their habits. Not complying, even in small ways, will keep that person from growing beyond needing outside intervention for help.

    If you are experiencing a medical emergency or if you are severely injured, call 911 immediately. Chinese medicine is able to address acute and dire situations, but is not at all the best option for medical emergencies, such as freshly broken bones, severe wounds and burns, symptoms of severe bacterial infection, etc.

    Silla T.

  • YAY!! I finally found the healthcare that I’ve been seeking: Being listened to and heard; Being treated compassionately, with individualization and respect… Care focused on treating the root cause of the problem, rather than putting a proverbial “bandaid” on the symptoms, in an attempt to cover them up. This is the real deal, truly medicine: compassionate healing. I’m all in!!

    Jeanne S.

  • Dr Goodnow is a treasure here in Humboldt County. She has a deep knowledge of ancient acupuncture and chi gong healing techniques and combines that with more modern modalities for a customized and targeted treatment. While other acupuncturists I have visited place the needles then leave the room, Dr Goodnow is there the whole time, applying moxibustion, cupping, or energy work to augment the treatment. Then, you leave with a custom blended herbal tincture to continue the healing until your next visit. I could not recommend her more highly!
