Dr. Clara Hsu, M.D.

I am a family medicine physician who practices both Western and alternative medicine. Because people respond to different approaches at different times, I incorporate a variety of perspectives on healing. In addition to Western medicine, I also do acupuncture, osteopathy, and Lovestream energy work. These modalities can be useful in conjunction with Western medicine; they also can be helpful when Western medicine does not provide adequate relief or when people prefer not to take a lot of medications. They also can be beneficial when diagnostic studies do not reveal an obvious illness, but people still feel unwell.

Generally when seeing somebody for the first time, I take a history and physical, and then give a treatment of acupuncture, osteopathy, and/or energy work. An initial appointment usually lasts about two hours and a follow-up appointment about an hour. I see people for many different conditions, including:

respiratory ailments - e.g. asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, allergies
digestive disorders - e.g. irritable bowel syndrome, heartburn, indigestion, nausea, constipation, diarrhea
musculoskeletal/pain problems - e.g. neck, shoulder, elbow, back, knee, or foot pain; rotator cuff tendinitis, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, arthritis, TMJ syndrome
gynecological conditions - e.g. menstrual disorders, cramps, hot flashes, PMS
psychological and stress-related problems - e.g. depression, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, frequent colds

Good health requires the harmonious flow and movement of energy. Energy can become unbalanced for many reasons, such as injury, bad posture, repetitive strain, lack of exercise, poor diet, substance abuse, inability to handle stress, negativity, and unhealthy lifestyle. Acupuncture, osteopathy, and Lovestream energy work all help to correct the flow and movement of energy–acupuncture via fine needles, osteopathy via gentle, hands-on manipulation, and energy work via a nonverbal transference of wisdom energies. These modalities all promote ideal physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Patients of all ages are welcome. Se habla español.
