From Last Resort to Preventive Care: A New Way to Heal

I often hear: You’re my last hope. I’ve tried everything.”

Honestly, I don’t mind hearing that.

At our integrative clinic EastWest Acupuncture in Excelsior Minnesota were used to this phrase. When people reach that point, they’re usually more open to transformation, committed to change, and ready to do the work.

This is Frank we worked together for the Twins. He had nasal congestion and allergy symptoms," still got the work to do" even with needles in his face! 

It’s interesting that integrative, holistic medicine, like Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, is still often seen as a last resort rather than proactive care.

For the past five (going on six) seasons, I’ve had the privilege of serving as an acupuncturist for the Minnesota Twins. My role is focused on recovery, reset, and prevention. We have an exceptional medical team that manages pain and injuries, and I support players with everything from acute injuries to chronic aches and soreness.

What’s powerful is that the organization truly understands the importance of regulating and supporting the nervous system to optimize performance.

And here’s the thing: you’re just as important.

Those aches, pains, insomnia, dry eyes, or even funky toenails? Don’t ignore them. That’s your body whispering that it needs support.

Ignore the warning lights long enough, and they don’t go away, they come back louder.

Maybe it’s time to listen.
