Department of Neurology: Migraine, Headache & Neuropathy · East to West Wellness Center
Migraines, numb or burning feet, or headaches that keep returning?
You tried medication, supplements or lifestyle changes. Maybe symptoms eased temporarily. Then the pain, tingling or headaches came back without a clear next step.
Sound familiar?
If this is you, you’re in the right place
- Migraines return every week or month
- Numbness, tingling or burning affects hands or feet
- Medication helps, but symptoms keep returning
- Headaches follow stress, poor sleep or your cycle
- You were told your labs look normal
What medicine does well, and what it wasn’t built for
Why it keeps coming back
Migraine and nerve medications calm the signal, and many people need them. But nerves are fed by blood flow and can be irritated by blood-sugar swings, inflammation and stress. When those systems stay off, symptoms may continue even after the signal is temporarily reduced.
That’s the part we work on. We don’t replace your doctor. We optimize the systems underneath, your metabolism, mitochondria and immune response, so your body can do what it’s built to do: heal and stay well.
Systems biology, applied to Neurology
The three systems we see most often
Blood sugar
High or swinging blood sugar damages small nerves and can trigger migraines.
Circulation
Nerves depend on tiny blood vessels, and poor flow can reduce the support they receive.
Stress, cortisol and inflammation
A stress system running hot lowers the threshold for pain and headaches.
Systems we check in every neurology evaluation:
Diagnosis decides what we fix. If a system tests fine, we leave it alone and put your time and money where it matters.
How we fix it
In the order that matters
Treat the nerves directly
Address the pain, numbness or tingling.
Restore blood flow
Support circulation to the nerves and surrounding tissue.
Steady blood sugar
Address swings that can irritate nerves and trigger migraines.
Calm the stress system
Reduce factors that lower the threshold for pain.
What we measure
Your numbers, re-tested
We only order what would change your plan, and we tell you up front which tests may be covered.
Our tools
Acupuncture and electroacupuncture, clinical nutrition, medical-grade supplements and herbal prescriptions, moxibustion and red light. When you need more, our physician partners and your own specialists are part of the plan.
What patients say
★★★★★Would highly recommend this practice to anyone and do every chance I get! Greg resolved radiating pain that came from the neck down into my hands within 9 sessions! This treatment was a couple of years ago and I have never had the pain since. He sees my husband as well as my children and has treated many ailments (sports injuries, migraines, anxiety, etc.)

★★★★★Greg is absolutely fantastic. I run to him when I’m having an issue because I know he will fix it. He’s knowledgeable, kind and confident. I’ve gone for acupuncture for migraines and also due to various aches and pains during two pregnancies. All three times I felt immediate relief within days following my session. The office is beautiful and clean, and the staff is wonderful. 10/10 recommend!!

Our offer
A personalized care plan, backed by your own markers
Every department offers the same thing: a time-based plan built for your issue. Testing, mapping where the problem started, a written plan, treatments, clinical nutrition, and supplement and herbal prescriptions, all aimed at your issue instead of piecemeal visits. Acupuncture is our super-specialty, and many plans work with or without it.
| East to West care plan | One-size protocol | |
|---|---|---|
| How it’s built | From your testing and your history | The same steps for everyone with the same complaint |
| What it targets | The systems underneath, in the order that matters for you | The symptom you walked in with |
| How you know it’s working | Markers agreed up front, re-tested | You guess |
| What backs it | Progress Guarantee tied to those markers | Nothing |
| What you take home | A System Map and a roadmap for you and your doctors | A product list |
Every plan comes with our Progress Guarantee. Before we start, we agree on the markers we’ll track: your symptom score plus two or three lab or clinical markers that can realistically change. If you’ve done your part and we haven’t hit them in your plan’s time frame, we keep working with you at a reduced rate or add complimentary care. We promise the work and the measurement, not a cure.

The one place to start
Plans, not protocols. It starts with your Systems Biology Evaluation.
You know you have the problem. What nobody has shown you is how your symptom ties back to your metabolism, inflammation and immune system. That connection is our specialty.
- We map your chief complaint back to every system driving it.
- We decide which tests you actually need, and tell you which may be covered and which aren’t.
- We lay out your plan and timeline, with options for how many treatments and how long.
- You leave with your one-page System Map: where the problem sits, which systems are involved, and how we’ll address each one, in order.
Sometimes the answer is simple. If it’s a local problem, you may only need acupuncture, and we’ll tell you that.

Neurology questions
Do I need to stop my migraine or nerve medication?
No. Never stop or change medication without your prescriber. We work alongside your doctor and build around your current care.
What testing may be reviewed?
We may review A1c, fasting insulin, B12, folate, vitamin D, ferritin, a full thyroid panel and hsCRP.
Can acupuncture help neuropathy or migraines?
Acupuncture and electroacupuncture may be used to address nerves, circulation, blood sugar and stress as part of a personalized plan.
When is a headache an emergency?
The worst headache of your life, headache with fever and stiff neck, sudden weakness, facial droop with arm weakness, or slurred speech is an emergency. Call 911.
What happens at the Systems Biology Evaluation?
In 30 to 60 minutes we map your chief complaint to the systems driving it, decide which tests you actually need, and lay out your plan and timeline. You leave with a one-page System Map. It’s a $350 evaluation, $100 to start.
Do you replace my doctor?
No. Medication, surgery and specialist care do important work. We work alongside your medical team on the systems underneath, and we never ask you to stop a prescribed medication; that’s a conversation with your prescriber.
Do you take insurance for acupuncture?
For some pain conditions, insurance may cover the acupuncture part of your plan. Send us your card and we’ll check for you. Testing, nutrition and supplements usually aren’t covered, which is why every plan is bundled. Check your benefits.
