About

Ronica Perez graduated summa cum laude from the National University of Health Sciences with a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture. At the open house of this university, she met Dr. Kwon who was talking about acupuncture and oriental medicine. Dr. Kwon used the example of treating the "common cold." Using Chinese medical theories, he explained how one medicine would not work on all individuals who have a cold. He pointed to the people in the lecture and said though everyone in the room had a cold, this one had a fever, this one had a sore throat, this one had a clear, runny nose, and this one had chills. Chinese medicine looks at each person and records each symptom to make a prescription and treatment plan that is unique and specific to each individual. After listening to Dr. Kwon, she had to learn more, and immediately enrolled in the Master’s program for Acupuncture. Ronica also incorporates ZYTO biofeedback technology. Using this extraordinary modern technology with the wisdom of the ancient philosophies, she is able to give each patient insight as to why they are experiencing discomforts and develop a plan not only to treat the current symptoms but also to try to prevent them from occurring again. Chinese medicine requires the practitioner to be skilled at listening to patients and finding the ‘root cause’ of complaints. Patients are able to take more responsibility for their health and learn about the amazing healing capabilities of the human body. Instead of feeling “Why does this type of stuff always happen to me…,” the patient becomes empowered to change and to heal. The effects of the acupuncture treatments continue to amaze Ronica. She is constantly educating herself about this medicine that is thousands of years old and is honored to be able to share this knowledge with others.

  • Acupuncture Facts: Questions & Answers

    Q: HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?A: The classical Chinese explanation is that Qi (chee), an energetic substance, flows through our body in channels called meridians, just as blood flows through our veins. The Qi should be flowing harmoniously throughout the body but certain factors lead to this flow...

  • Acupuncture and Having a Baby

    People always ask me, "What is acupuncture good for?" My answer is always, "Everything!" This is a medicine that believes in the body's ability to heal itself. It trusts the Wisdom of the body and the Wisdom of the Creator of this body knowing that all the answers to healing lie within. Over the...

  • Calming The Body Is Like Taming Wild Horses

    Spring is a time for growth. It is a time to plan your garden, decide what it is you would like to grow and envision the steps necessary to achieve your goal.According to Chinese philosophers, Spring is associated with the Wood element. The wood comes out of its deep sleep and begins to bud and grow...

  • Does acupuncture relieve arthritis pain?

    Yes, acupuncture is used to promote healthy circulation in the body which is why it is so effective in treating pain of any kind. In any type of arthritis, circulation is key to improving the pain. I would also recommend stretching and deep breathing; "yoga breaths" or "belly breaths" will also help get oxygen to the extremities and better circulation. READ MORE

  • What can be treated with acupuncture?

    Acupuncture focuses on the symptoms of physical and emotional issues. They are connected and as we get circulation moving in the body, the qi-which is the healing energy is allowed to flow with the blood and create balance in the body. In my practice, anxiety is just another symptom, usually along with fatigue, inability to sleep, digestive issues, that is connected to a stressed out and overburdened immune system. When we help the body to heal, the emotions also balance. Every organ system in Chinese Medicine is tied to an emotion so that emotion helps to identify where the body is struggling. The Liver is connected to anger and frustration. The Stomach is connected to worry and rumination. The lungs are connected to sadness, grieving and inability to let go or trust. The Kidneys are connected to fear of being alone or fear of moving forward. And the Heart is connected to anxiety, which can be due to trapping all of one's emotions in the body. Acupuncture always treats both the physical and the emotional. READ MORE

  • Will acupuncture help my knee pain?

    Yes, acupuncture is always great for any type of pain management. Right knee pain and left knee pain also indicates different conditions in the body that when understood could help with preventing inflammation that could be leading to more pain and allow quicker healing to an injured area. READ MORE

  • Does acupuncture hurt?

    Some people are more sensitive to the needles and others can't even tell that a needle was placed. Any sensation that is felt during the treatment should only last for a few seconds, that is usually a sign that the energy was blocked, but once it moves, the pain subsides. I also have a laser acupuncture device that I use for people who are scared of the needles. READ MORE

  • Does acupuncture actually work?

    Yes, acupuncture can help all types of blood issues but I would also pay close attention to diet and support the body with foods it needs to heal. READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture help with anxiety attacks?

    Yes, absolutely! An acupuncturist can see which treatment would be best for you by looking at your tongue and listening to your main symptoms. Cupping is usually beneficial with the acupuncture with panic attacks. I would also recommend reflexology which uses pressure points on the feet to help calm the energy. READ MORE

  • Does acupuncture help in treating depression?

    Absolutely! In Chinese Medicine, there is no difference between a physical, emotional or spiritual imbalance therefore, depression could be easily treated with dietary changes and natural remedies to help the body with physical issues. Of course, addressing the emotional concerns is important and she should stay under the care of her doctor but many patients report feeling less anxious, happier and less stressed after receiving an acupuncture treatment. Incorporating other modalities with the acupuncture such as Cranial-Sacral Therapy and EFT Tapping may be some other options as well. READ MORE

  • Does acupuncture raise blood pressure?

    There are specific acupuncture points used to lower blood pressure but sometimes people are nervous during their first session. I always check on my patients to make sure they are feeling ok or leave a call button in the room so they know they can call me if they are not feeling comfortable during a treatment. This usually only happens during the first treatment when people don't really know what to expect. You can always ask your practitioner to check on you if you feel uneasy at any appointment-that will probably help. READ MORE

  • How can acupuncture improve blood circulation?

    Improving circulation is the number one reason to do acupuncture! The needle placement is designed to help remove any stagnation, relax the body, and allow the blood to flow properly throughout the body. When circulation is improved, the blood and the "Qi" move together to all parts of the body needing healing. READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture safe during the first trimester?

    Yes- it is completely safe. There are certain acupuncture points to be avoided during pregnancy but your practitioner will know about those points. Most of the treatments during pregnancy are used to create peace and calmness in the body. The treatments can also be used for nausea, to help keep a healthy pregnancy and to boost the immune system. READ MORE

  • How does acupuncture help boost the immune system?

    Acupuncture does not work like a vaccination to prevent a certain type of virus but it does help to strengthen the immune system so that the body is able to fight things off on its own. A body that is healthier, less inflamed and less stressed is stronger to fight off infections. READ MORE

  • Should I get acupuncture for my fibromyalgia?

    I have helped many people with fibromyalgia pains. The treatments help to calm the body which helps with better circulation which helps decrease pain. Many of my patients report feeling less pain and happier! READ MORE

  • I have arthritis, and I'm considering acupuncture. Will it help?

    Absolutely! One of the things acupuncture is best known for is its ability to decrease pain by improving circulation in the body. There may be some things to consider to make the treatment more effective like eliminating foods causing inflammation and/or adding some nutritional support. READ MORE

  • How should I prepare for my acupuncture session?

    Just wear comfortable clothing but most places should have something you can change into if you are coming right from work or wearing more restricting clothing. You do not have to believe in acupuncture for it to work but the more relaxed you are, the better so it's nice just to think of a favorite vacation spot, listen to some relaxing music or meditate while enjoying the treatment. READ MORE

  • Do you recommend acupuncture for children?

    No- he is not too young but if he is afraid then it may not work as well. For most children, I do back treatments (needles in the back along the spine). It is more gentle and very relaxing. I also do laser acupuncture if they are just too scared of needles. READ MORE

  • How does cupping therapy work?

    Cupping is a therapy used mostly to "pull excess heat from the body." Athletes use it for some of the other benefits but if someone has a mind that is always racing, restless energy and trouble falling asleep then the cupping is great! READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture help in treating diabetes?

    It can absolutely help. The pancreas is connected to the Spleen energy in Chinese medicine. There are many acupuncture points to help balance that system as well as dietary recommendations to help strengthen that system. Chinese medicine uses tongue diagnosis and symptoms analysis to make the best recommendations for each unique person. READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture a long-term treatment?

    It can be used either way but is best used as a way to maintain the body just like we get the oil changed in our cars to prevent future problems. READ MORE

  • Is acupuncture helpful in boosting fertility?

    Yes- most of my practice is fertility support. Starting as early as you are starting is amazing. You should notice improvements in your cycle immediately and continuing treatment will help with a beautiful pregnancy and delivery. READ MORE

  • Can acupuncture treat my digestive disorders?

    Acupuncture can help with all digestive issues. There are points to help with symptoms such as acid reflux and bloating. However, it also seems that your stomach may not have enough acid. With the acid reflux, that is a trickier thing to fix but dietary changes with proper nutritional support could help to heal any damage done by the reflux. The next step would be getting the rest of the body more alkaline and the stomach more acidic- that would eventually help with the bloating as well which is happening because the stomach is not acidic enough to digest the foods.
