Adam White, L.Ac. remains committed to improving the health of every patient he treats. If a case is particularly rare and difficult, he takes the extra time and energy necessary to help his patients achieve optimum results. He is successful in the treatment of disorders such as sinus congestion, allergies, interrupted sleep, acute and chronic pain, headaches and migraine headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back pain and digestive disturbances. The joy of his practice is in the good health of his patients.

Adam White, L.Ac. is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist.  For over 15 years, I have successfully treated lower back pain, sleep disorders such as insomnia, and digestion disorders such as diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome.  Acid reflux, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, depression and mood swings, menopause and multiple sclerosis are also treated at my Capitola Health Center and Saratoga locations.  Acupuncture and herbal medicine are also beneficial for patients with allergic reactions and immune system disorders.  Consider living without pain in the shoulder, neck, and low back.  My acupuncture treatments relieve the pain, improve range of motion, and restore the healing process to local tissues.  In this way, peripheral nerve fibers have a chance to heal, disc protrusions shrink, tendons and muscles are relaxed and nourished, and inflammation diminishes.  My goal is not only to stop the pain but also to restore your activity level so that you may enjoy a vibrant lifestyle without complication.

For those going through menopause, protect your bone density with Chinese herbal medicine.  The acupuncture and herbal medicine can halt the night sweating, quell the mental restlessness, stop the hot flashes, and restore quality sleep.  I use the same herbal medicine formulas that the great masters of Chinese medicine have used for nearly 1,000 years.  Moreover, I use only the finest herbal ingredients.  If you enjoy organic produce, farmers markets, and shopping at the New Leaf or Whole Foods, you will also enjoy my attention to the purity of my herbal sources.  My herbs are processed and tested in the USA with strict oversight by the FDA.  Everyone deserves the best in purity and quality.

The same is true for my careful attention to acupuncture.  Naturally, I use only disposable needles.  More than this, I use only the finest, smoothest, and most comfortable needles - all of which are approved by the FDA and known for their highest standards.  I specialize in highly effective acupuncture insertion techniques that get results.  Also, you will benefit from my many years of experience with comfortable needle techniques.  Infants, children, and adults have enjoyed numerous acupuncture visits at my office.  Most patients are so relaxed during the acupuncture treatments that they fall asleep.  Once the needles are inserted, there is no sensation other than deep relaxation.  This is because acupuncture stimulates parasympathetic nerve impulses and brain activity similar to those generated during sleep.

I have devoted my life to the study and clinical application of acupuncture and herbal medicine.  I would be honored to help you with your health concerns and will apply my lifetime's learning experience to employ every resource available to help you restore your good health.
