Meet Casey Corridan - Alexandria VA Acupuncturist
Casey Corridan is an experienced and licensed Acupuncturist, certified herbalist and Nutritional Health Coach who loves what she does for a living.
I became interested in Acupuncture through my studies and background in psychology. I knew that whatever I would do in this world, it would be working with and helping others. I discovered Chinese and Holistic Medicine through my own need for it and was amazed by the results. In my practice today I am constantly impressed to see how a patients well being and health is improved by combining the art of TCM theory and knowledge with a passion for what I do. Nutrition, herbs and counseling are also strong components of helping each patient feel better and become healthier.
Casey had a successful practice in New York City for many years and moved to Virginia after she married. Casey has been at Bodnar Chiropractic enter since 2013.
What is Acupuncture and How Can it Help Me?
Acupuncture is a technique used by the Chinese medical practitioner to influence, change, or manipulate the physical and energetic aspects of the body. People are usually hesitant about the usage of needles in acupuncture, however, there is no 'stabbing' sensation. Due to the thinness of the needle, patients typically feel a pinch as it is inserted and a dull, heavy sensation once in the body. Some needles create a strong sensation and some are not felt at all. All needling is very safe, clean, relaxing and designed to relieve stressors and ailments. All needles are single use disposable stainless steel.
What to Expect from Your Acupuncture Visit
Treatment consists of acupuncture and/or herbal prescriptions based on the findings from your individual assessment. Treatments typically last between 60 and 90 minutes. The number of treatments needed depends on your condition, your goals and your body's response to the treatments. Some people need only 2 or 3 treatments, others need 8 or 10. Some people continue maintenance sessions just for preventative health and relaxation.
You may experience almost immediate relief, or require several treatments to resolve your complaint. Casey does an excellent job explaining the whole process and answering your questions openly and honestly along the way.
Common Conditions Treated with Acupuncture
The list of conditions that respond to acupuncture is long and varied. To many people, the list is unbelievable. Rather than provide our own list of conditions here, we'd like to draw your attention to the list complied and published by the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture (AAMA). Although written for doctors in technical language, the following article entitled "Medical Acupuncture Review: Safety, Efficacy, And Treatment Practices" by Steven E. Braverman, MD and published in the Medical Acupuncture journal is excellent reading.
