About Our Practitioner
Louis T. DiStasio, D.C., L.Ac.
"The study of oriental medicine has broadened my understanding of human physiology and the role of Qi,
the body's flow of energy, in health and wellness. Western medicine focuses largely on treating the
symptoms of illness. Oriental medicine works to eliminate the underlying causes of pain and diseases,
imbalances and blockages in the flow of Qi. With this knowledge, I have accessed a world of possibility for
relieving conditions that were previously unresponsive to treatment. While oriental medicine is not a
panacea for all illness, it can be used to alleviate many painful and disabling conditions."
