Treatments
Acupuncture​
The FDA now considers acupuncture an acceptable medical practice. In addition, the well-known Mayo Clinic, located in Arizona, practices acupuncture at its facility. Acupuncture is now accepted as part of mainstream medicine in America.
Acupuncture therapy requires multiple treatments in order to be effective. As such, most treatment protocols will require a full course of 10 treatments. Some more complicated conditions or situations may require a 2nd or even 3rd course of treatment to receive full effect and benefits. Dr. Lindsey may need to treat a patient once, twice, or three times a week, depending on their individual situation.
Acupuncture has become widely known worldwide because it is a versatile and effective medical procedure. Often, the results are nothing short of astounding. When done correctly, it simply has no harmful side effects. (The FDA has evaluated this statement and proven it to be correct. ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS ARE QUICK, EASY, AND EFFECTIVE, with results that are almost too good to be true. In addition to treating the patient's disease symptoms, acupuncture also improves circulation, increases oxygen to the heart and brain, balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, strengthens the metabolism, and leaves the patient feeling great. It also tends to improve mental concentration, focus, and memory. Some people do it occasionally just for its health benefits alone.
Testimonials
I have been going to Dr. Lindsey on and off for years for various reasons. In addition to his great knowledge of acupuncture, he has Chinese herbs to use in addition to and sometimes instead of acupuncture to help his patients. He is caring, effective and knowledgeable. His staff is always helpful and pleasant to speak with. Unless it is an emergency, he is the first person I want to talk to about an illness or injury. I regularly recommend him to anyone willing to try an alternative approach to healing.
Traditional Chinese Medicine​
Traditional Chinese Medicine, of which acupuncture is one small part, is an entire medical system in its own right. It has its own medical theory and has developed its own treatments, procedures, and protocols. Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as TCM, is a very old medical system with a history of over 3,000 years. This system of medicine is constantly evolving and is still being actively improved upon in hospitals, universities, and clinics throughout Asia. Although its medical theory is very ancient, over the last 150 years, doctors and researchers in this field have employed evidence-based research to develop and enhance the modern version of this ancient system.
Modern TCM still primarily uses herbs to make its medicines. TCM herbal medicines are complex formulas made up of four to over fourteen different herbs in each medicinal formula. These herbs are cooked together to create a single medicine that the patient then takes once or twice a day. Nowadays, extract powder versions of these formulas are available, making them more convenient and a little less bitter. The FDA keeps a close watch on which herbs they allow the Chinese Medical Industry to use in the United States; each and every ingredient in any one of your Chinese herbal medicines is an ingredient listed on the FDA’s Gras list (generally regarded as safe).
After Dr. Lindsey takes care to read your pulse, examine your tongue, and ask you important clinical questions about your condition, he will then decide which TCM herbal formula best suits your condition. Oftentimes, two, three, and even four different formulas need to be blended to precisely fit your needs because of the sophisticated nature of Chinese medical theory and the changes your body makes from week to week. Dr. Lindsey will usually need to meet with you, reevaluate your situation, and adjust your formula.
I would like to express my thanks to Dr. Lindsey and his staff for the help and progress that I have made in my health over the last years. I have had problems with carpel tunnel, polymyalgia rheumatica which causes widespread aching and stiffness in the hips and shoulders and fatigue issues.
His herbal medicines have been a great help to me to feel revitalized and have the energy I need for my physically demanding job. I have received multiple acupuncture treatments that have helped to lessen pain and helped me live more productively. I like his common sense approach to reducing stress and finding the root of the ailments that I was having. My carpel tunnel has cleared up and I am no longer considering surgery for it. I am now pain free. I live out of state and have always received the product promptly and have enjoyed the courteous staff.

N.A.E.T. (Nambudipad's Allergy Elimination Technique)
​
"NAET® was discovered by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad in November of 1983. Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques, also known as NAET, are a non-invasive, drug-free, natural solution to alleviate allergies of all types and intensities using a blend of selective energy balancing, testing, and treatment procedures from acupuncture/acupressure, allopathy, chiropractic, nutritional, and kinesiological disciplines of medicine.
​
One allergen is treated at a time. If you are not severely immunodeficient, you may need only one treatment to desensitize to a single allergen. A person with mild to moderate allergies may need about 15-20 office visits to desensitize to 15-20 food and environmental allergens.
​
Basic essential nutrients are treated during the first few visits. Chemicals, environmental allergens, vaccinations, immunizations, etc., are treated after completing about ten basic essential nutrients. NAET can successfully alleviate adverse reactions to egg, milk, peanuts, penicillin, aspirin, mushrooms, shellfish, latex, grass, ragweed, flowers, perfume, animal dander, animal epithelial, make-up, chemicals, cigarette smoke, pathogens, heat, cold, and other environmental agents. It may take several office visits to desensitize to a severe allergen.
​
NAET is available worldwide. Over 12,000 licensed practitioners have been trained in NAET procedures and are practicing worldwide. To help you find an NAET specialist, the names of trained practitioners are listed on our website under the Find a Practitioner section.
