If you are looking to improve and maintain your health using acupuncture and Asian herbs --
 a minimally invasive therapy -- look no further.
​At Ginkgo Acupuncture, we use acupuncture and herbal medicine as well as lifestyle and
dietary recommendations to assist you to achieve health and well-being.


Q: What are some commonly treated conditions acupuncture helps?  
A:  There are many conditions that are successfully treated with acupuncture.   Below is a partial list:

Digestive
 Abdominal pain Acid reflux  |  Chronic diarrhea  
 |  Colitis & Crohn's disease   |  Constipation   |  Indigestion   |  Irritable bowel syndrome   |  Liver & gall bladder disorders  |  Colitis & Crohn’s disease   

Musculoskeletal

 |  Back pain & stiffness   |  Disc problems   |  Joint problems   |  Muscle spasms & weakness   |  Neck pain & stiffness    Repetitive stress injuries   |  Sciatica   |  Sports injuries   |  Sprains & strains   |  Tendinitis

Other
 Addictions 
 |  AIDS/HIV   |  Diabetes (type II)   |  Facial rejuvenation   |  Heart disease   |  Hepatitis   |  Hypertension   |  Skin problems    Tinnitus

Q:  Do the needles hurt?
A:  No, but there are sensations for many people. Patients report sensations like a dull ache, heaviness, and sometimes mild electric current sensations with acupuncture.

Acupuncture needles are very different from the kind at a Dr.’s office.  Acupuncture needles are solid-not hollow- and don’t cut the skin like needles that inject or draw blood(hypodermic). Plus, they are quite flexible and thin.One interesting fact is that 18-20 needles used for acupuncture could fit into 1 hypodermic needle.

Q: How many treatments will it take?  How often should I get acupuncture?
A: In general, chronic ailments take longer to treat than acute conditions.   A body system out of balance for a longer time can manifest with multiple symptoms and have multiple root causes. A typical treatment course can also depend on the overall health and age of a patient, as well as your individual diagnosis.  In many cases from 5-15 sessions may help more chronic conditions.We will discuss your diagnosis, treatment course and length during your first appointment.  

Q: Are herbs safe?
A: Yes.  For thousands of years, Chinese medicinal herbs have been safely and effectively used.  Rarely are any side effects reported with herbs.  You will almost never see one herb used alone, as herbal formulas are a synergistic blend of anywhere from 2-20 different herbs.  We use herbs only by companies that adhere to strict quality controls concerning safety, potency and quality.
When prescribed by skilled, licensed practitioners, herbal formulas are very effective and tailored to your individual condition with virtually no side effects.  Just as at a Dr visit, please let us know of any supplements, herbs, vitamins, or prescription medication you are taking.  Also inform us of any environmental or food allergies you may have.

About Emily Davidson

Picture
Growing up, Emily was influenced by local alternative health practitioners and medical doctors. She sought out help for headaches as a college student and experienced successful acupuncture treatment for herself. She was amazed by the results and the way her acupuncture experience went beyond simple pain relief.

Emily holds a Master's degree from American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2007, Emily earned a California license to practice Acupuncture and Chinese Herbalism. She has National Licensure (NCCAOM) in Oriental Medicine, as well as a Tennessee license.

During training in San Francisco, Emily completed internships at the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic, ACTCM Auricular clinic, and the ACTCM school Clinic. She has also worked with the world-renowned Chinese doctor and fertility specialist Dr. Lifang Liang. In the Bay Area community, she volunteered treating female survivors of domestic abuse in the Survivor Empowerment Program (SEP) at the San Francisco Sheriff’s department, where she administered ear acupuncture.

Her recent work background in Kentucky includes using acupuncture for patients over 65 with chronic pain and other health issues alongside other medical professionals in a multi-disciplinary clinic. She was happy to give acupuncture treatments to veterans as a volunteer for Louisville Veterans Community Acupuncture.

Emily specializes in musculoskeletal pain, stress, women's health, fertility and immune support. She tailors her treatments to each individual, and respects the Chinese medicine principle of treating the whole person rather than a body manifesting symptoms.

​Emily enjoys empowering and educating her clients to be their healthiest possible selves.
