The risk of cold, flu, or respiratory issues tends to increase this time of year. During the cold season, our bodies can experience a decline in Qi—the life energy and defensive barrier that helps fight illness and boost immune function—due to factors such as heightened stress, inadequate sleep, and exposure to viruses. When these forces attack, illness can set in.  

Fortunately. Dr. Deborah Scandin AP, DOM, RRT, has more than 20 years of combined experience as an Acupuncture Physician and Respiratory Therapist. Acupuncture has been an effective form of holistic medicine for over 3,000 years. This treatment method uses tiny needles that work on meridians and channels, with Qi and blood as the nutritive sources. 

Dr. Deb has spent her whole career helping others find relief from respiratory, immunity, digestive, and chronic pain issues. Her expertise in respiratory therapy, acupuncture, and Chinese biology can help you feel better quickly and safely—with no side-effects. 

 Acupuncture can help relieve numerous cold or flu symptoms—from the early signs of a sore throat or nose sniffle, to those deep chest coughs that seem to last for months. Dr. Deb’s experience in alleviating cold, flu, and bronchial issues incorporates Traditional Chinese Medicine to address both the emotional and immunological aspects of being sick.
