Comprehensive Acupuncture Care
Traditional Chinese medicine views health as a dynamic balance of energy, physical function, and emotional wellbeing. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points along the body's meridian pathways to restore balance, reduce pain, and support the body's natural healing processes.
How Acupuncture Works: Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body. These points are selected based on traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and your individual health patterns. Research shows acupuncture can influence nervous system function, reduce inflammation, release natural pain-relieving compounds, and promote overall physiological balance.
GRIEF TREATMENT
INTEGRATIVE GRIEF & BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT
Grief is a natural and necessary response to loss—not a pathology to be fixed, but a profound human experience that impacts body, mind, and spirit. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, unprocessed grief can disrupt the Lung and Large Intestine systems, manifesting as physical tension, emotional numbness, or a sense of being stuck. Acupuncture and complementary therapies create a safe, healing container to honor your loss while supporting your body's natural capacity to process and integrate this transition.
Conditions supported:
- Death of a loved one
- Relationship loss and divorce
- Job loss or career transition
- Identity transitions and life changes
- Chronic illness diagnosis and health loss
- Pet loss
- Anticipatory grief
- Prolonged or complicated grief
What to expect: Grief treatment is deeply personalized and trauma-informed. Initial sessions focus on creating nervous system stability and addressing acute physical symptoms (chest tightness, insomnia, fatigue). Over time, treatment supports deeper emotional processing and integration. Many patients report feeling heard, held, and more connected to their resilience. Dr. Rozegold may use acupuncture, herbal support, breathwork guidance, and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your unique presentation.
Additional support: Dr. Rozegold works collaboratively with therapists, counselors, and support groups. This acupuncture care is designed as an integrative complement to mental health treatment, not a substitute for psychotherapy.
PTSD & TRAUMA RECOVERY
TRAUMA-INFORMED ACUPUNCTURE & NERVOUS SYSTEM HEALING
Post-traumatic stress lives in the body as well as the mind—held as tension, hypervigilance, and dysregulation in the nervous system. Traditional Chinese medicine addresses trauma through the lens of constitutional imbalance, particularly affecting the Heart, Kidney, and Liver systems. Acupuncture works to downregulate the stress response, release trapped nervous energy, and restore your sense of safety and presence in your body.
Conditions supported:
- PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
- Complex trauma and CPTSD
- Anxiety and panic related to trauma
- Hypervigilance and nightmares
- Sleep disturbances from trauma
- Chronic muscle tension and pain
- Emotional numbness or dissociation
- Trauma recovery alongside therapy
What to expect: Trauma-informed acupuncture prioritizes your sense of agency and safety throughout treatment. Dr. Rozegold creates a gentle, predictable environment and may use specific acupuncture points and techniques designed to calm the nervous system and promote vagal tone. Sessions often feel deeply grounding and restorative. Many patients report improved sleep, reduced startle response, and a greater sense of emotional stability. Treatment progresses at your pace and works best when combined with trauma-focused psychotherapy.
Collaborative care: Acupuncture is most effective for trauma recovery when integrated with evidence-based therapies (EMDR, somatic experiencing, CPT). Dr. Rozegold works with your mental health provider to support your comprehensive healing journey.
