Pinnacle Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine

Certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Daniel L. Rasmussen employs several traditional Chinese medical techniques that aim to treat pain and restore proper function to bodily systems. Rasmussen specializes in a method of acupuncture called I Ching, a 2,500-year-old practice that involves the insertion of small needles at key points on the body to stimulate natural healing functions, such as endorphin production. On their first visit, patients discuss their concerns and the therapist makes a pulse and tongue diagnosis to pinpoint the root of the dysfunction. Maladies could include migraines, tennis elbow, or insomnia. Rasmussen then uses this information to craft a personal treatment plan that can involve acupuncture but also can involve cupping, electrostimulation, or a stirring rendition of "Cheer Up Charlie."
