Acupuncture training for Dr. Helton

I am proud to announce the beginning of my acupuncture training through the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture. I am seeking to attain Fellowship status with the IAMA and, ultimately, my Diplomate in acupuncture. This is a multi year 300+ post doctoral training program designed to give doctors the skills necessary to implement acupuncture in their practices. I'm hoping to broaden my scope of practice and gain new tools specifically in acute and chronic pain care, allergy/sinus treatment, digestive disorders, and overall wellness enhancement. Patients have asked me for years about referrals to acupuncturists but I've not known who to send them to. During my Kennedy Decompression Technique Certification, I had the pleasure to meet and learn from Dr. Bill Davis of Ennis, TX. Dr. Davis incorporates acupuncture side by side in his practice along with decompression, laser therapy, active therapeutic motion rehab, and Turbosonic whole body vibration. I'm excited to begin my training and hope to be able to begin implementing certain treatments by summer 2009.
