Dr. Selena became passionate about acupuncture once she received it as treatment for stubborn carpal tunnel syndrome. When faced with the possibility of losing her job (massage therapy at the time) or considering surgery, she chose acupuncture and never looked back. Because of this, she embraces complex conditions and knows, first-hand, the power of this non-surgical solution.
