Areas of Study

Surgery changes the body's internal landscape. Tissue, circulation, and nerve pathways all need to reestablish themselves after a procedure.

Acupuncture accelerates that process. By stimulating blood flow to the affected area, reducing inflammation, and supporting the nervous system through the stress of recovery, treatment helps the body do what it's already trying to do — heal — with less pain and in less time. Guy has worked with patients recovering from collarbone repair, knee surgery, hip replacements, rotator cuff procedures, spinal interventions, and more.

Muscle pain is rarely just muscular. Tension patterns develop as compensation for imbalances elsewhere and don't resolve with rest alone. Acupuncture, Gua Sha, and cupping work directly on the muscular layer to release trigger points, improve circulation, and retrain the nervous system's relationship to pain.

Chronic pain involves the nervous system itself, not just the site of the symptom. Guy's integrated approach combines acupuncture, herbal support, and therapeutic yoga to address chronic pain from multiple angles, working on the root patterns that perpetuate it rather than managing its expression.

Acupuncture is among the most effective treatments for both tension headaches and complex migraines, including those tied to hormonal cycles and musculoskeletal patterns in the neck and shoulders. Treatment focuses on identifying the underlying pattern and resolving it, not just managing each episode.

Acupuncture supports hormonal regulation, improves uterine blood flow, and addresses the stress load that quietly becomes a factor in conception challenges. Guy works with patients trying to conceive naturally as well as those supporting IVF and IUI protocols, tailoring treatment to each stage of the process.

High altitude living demands a lot from the body. Guy works with athletes at every level on injury prevention, performance support, and recovery optimization. Acupuncture, Gua Sha, cupping, and herbal support are each tools in that protocol, applied based on what the body actually needs.

Low back pain is one of the most common conditions Guy treats and one of the most consistently responsive to acupuncture. Treatment targets the root pattern rather than just the site of pain, whether the cause is muscular, structural, or both. Acute cases often resolve quickly; chronic conditions improve steadily over a course of treatment.

Guy treats the full spectrum of women's health concerns: menstrual irregularity, PMS, PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause. Treatment is always tailored to where a patient is in her cycle and her life, drawing on East Asian medicine's long and specific tradition of gynecological care.

The postpartum body needs real support: physical recovery from birth, hormonal rebalancing, nervous system regulation, and care for the emotional weight that comes with new parenthood. Guy's approach is gentle, restorative, and attentive to the full picture rather than any single symptom.
