Acupuncture points stimulate the central nervous system which releases chemicals into your muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes stimulate your body’s natural ability to heal itself.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) studies have shown that acupuncture can help treat:

✔️ Nausea
✔️ Dental pain after surgery
✔️ Headaches
✔️ Menstrual cramps
✔️ Tennis elbow
✔️ Fibromyalgia
✔️ Myofascial pain
✔️ Osteoarthritis
✔️ Low back pain
✔️ Carpal tunnel syndrome
✔️ Asthma

Acupuncture is probably what I get asked most about and I’d love to hear your questions. Comment below or send me a DM if that feels more comfortable 📥

I have one appointment left this Saturday at 1:15 PM!

Massage is an especially helpful tool in cold weather like this because it promotes better blood flow and boosts your immune system. 🙌🌱

Working on your health and fitness doesn’t just happen at the gym. What are all the ways you plan to get outside and move your body this year? We kicked things off with some epic dog walks and a long bike ride exploring! 🚴🌱

I want to thank my wife and greatest cheerleader for everything this year.

She always supports my endeavors, including my new journey into osteopathy (much more to share on that with you all soon)! Here's to a new year and many more adventures side-by-side 💙

Shiva has been my clinic assistant since I first opened my home office and I think it's about time he deserves a raise (in the form of treats). Don't you? 😌

🎄 Holiday Hours🎄

You can still book an appointment during regular hours outside of the dates below. I'm looking forward to seeing you all this festive season!

Does anyone else get overwhelmed thinking about the new year? I read about incremental goal-setting and it really resonated. Essentially, it's breaking down your long-term goals into manageable pieces.

"Baby steps."

Incremental goal setting forces you to focus on what you can control. It empowers you to act. In turn, you get to constantly celebrate small achievements while slowly inching towards your larger goal.

It makes setting big life goals feel more manageable.

It got me to thinking… ⤵️

If you could list off one goal you had for 2024, what would be the incremental goals you would set to get you there?

Can Acupuncture Help with Nerve Pain? 12/18/2023

New Blog Post! 📣 I talk about acupuncture and how it can be an incredible treatment tool for people with nerve pain. Give it a read below!

Can Acupuncture Help with Nerve Pain? Nerve pain or neuropathic pain is associated with the malfunctioning of your nervous system and usually occurs when there is an injury, nerve disease, or infection. It feels like stabbing, shooting, numbness, or burning in the path of the injured nerve. It mostly occurs in your limbs but can be in o...

Hours Update! ⏰ 🍃

I’ve decided to do a test run and extend my hours Tues - Thurs with a 9 - 10 PM appointment slot.

I always try my hardest to accommodate all my client's busy schedules. If later appointments are better for you, tell me in the comments (!!)👇

12/11/2023

Staying active is just as important in the colder months but I recommend mixing in more foam rolling and yoga to help you recover properly. Both activities will help you stay limber and prevent your joints from tightening up! 👍

12/05/2023

REMINDER: 📆 Make sure you're using up your benefits before they reset for the year. I have some afternoon availability tomorrow and Thursday if you want to snag an appointment this week! ✔️

Check out my new light set up! 💡✨ I know this will be a welcomed upgrade for many of my evening clients and new guests!

11/16/2023

I just wanted to say how great it has been connecting with many of you again after a busy summer season. Thank you for continuing to put your trust in me all these years. I love what I do and I love working with each of you! 🫶

As some of you know, I’ve been in school advancing my knowledge in the holistic health space! 🍃

One of the areas I've been focused on is Manual Osteopathy — a form of hands-on therapy that restores function and eliminates pain by addressing the root cause of the imbalance.

I'm looking forward to sharing more about my journey in this new healing modality in the future.

Stay tuned! 🙌

It's that time of year again! 😷 I want to remind my patients that I am taking every precaution to keep you safe and healthy this flu season! That includes extensive cleaning and sanitizing regiments after every patient! 🙏

Halloween is almost here! 🎃

Jen and I plan to relax and watch some horror movies. We might even build up the courage for a night bike ride in the wooded trails in the River Valley. What's everyone else got lined up for spooky season? 😎

You'll only ever get one of them looking at the camera. Sometimes neither, but never both 😂🙃

The acupuncture needles I use during treatment are pre-packaged and wrapped individually. They are sterile steel and I immediately dispose of them after your treatment. 🙌

You all know how much Jen and I love the summer and we took full advantage of this one!

From camping as many times as possible to weddings, river valley walks and cruising around on our stand-up paddle boards, it was a season to remember.

I hope you all had a great summer, too!

Does anyone have any good memories to share? 👇

A new autumn week is here and I’m quickly filling up. I have a few remaining appointments left on Tuesday (26) and Wednesday (27)! 🍂

After my recent clinic renovations, I decided it was time to take some new pictures, too! But of course a photoshoot around here wouldn’t be complete without my assistant, Shiva, making a cameo 📸🐈

Walking Ruby and Juni 🐕 is as good for them as it is for me. Just 30 minutes every day increases cardiovascular fitness, strengthens bones and boosts muscle power and endurance. So let this be your reminder to get moving! 🙌

We had such a great weekend at the lake and I’m looking forward to a busy week ahead.

I have availability Tues, Wed and Thursday for anyone looking to get in last minute! 🙏

A friendly reminder to my patients that my treatment space has moved upstairs!

You can park right outside and head to the front door. I'm looking forward to showing you around 🌞

Photos from Francesco Holistic's post 08/16/2023

One of the best parts about my new treatment space? Having a sink for easy clean up! 👏👏👏

I have a rigorous cleaning and sanitizing regimen after every patient and this new addition makes it so much easier to get my room prepped and ready for you.

08/10/2023

My consultation process 📝 always begins with an intake form so I can get to know the details of your body and your chief complaints. Then, depending on how you feel that day, we create a customized treatment plan to your needs.

I’m baaaaaaack! 👋🎈

Between renovating my new treatment room, a full schedule of patients and all the activities they come with summer, I decided to take a few months off social media. But I am happy to say that I’m back and have lots of exciting things to share with you all! ☀️🙏
