If you are curious about acupuncture, please note that the National Institute of Health (NIH) has approved acupuncture as treatment for many chronic conditions, including: back pain, menstrual disorders, headaches, asthma, and stroke. Nevertheless, many people resist exploring alternatives to Western medicine. For the best of both worlds, call Miles Reid of Tilo Medical & Acupuncture, a licensed acupuncturist with years of prior experience working as an M.D.
Miles’ background in Western and Eastern medicine gives him a unique breadth of knowledge from which to draw. “Being able to converse in both medicines allows me to truly practice ‘integrated medicine.’ I was always interested in alternative medicine. Acupuncture is a recognized method to treat many conditions for people who want a more natural form of treatment, or tried conventional care but didn't get the results they wanted.”
In Western medical school, interns are taught to cure the body through outside intervention such as antibiotics. Indeed, Western medicine best treats emergency situations such as severe infections or trauma. In contrast, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) fortifies the immune system, so that the body resists disease and heals itself, an ideal approach for most ailments.
In addition to traditional Western and TCM physical diagnostics, Miles listens carefully to his patients in order to determine the best course of treatment. “Each patient is a universe, a unique experience. The question is: how can I entice the healing mechanism to come into play?”
With Miles’ reasonable rates ($100 per session), the neighbor to neighbor discount, and insurance which often covers acupuncture, why not discover how Chinese medicine can improve your health?
Tip: "Preventive medicine involves shifting our way of thinking so that we act before the problem comes in, to prevent it. To prevent mid-afternoon sluggishness, eat a healthy amount of protein in the first half of the morning or, to prevent colds during the winter, boost the immune system during the fall. "
Being co traveler with Miles (one among many) on an abstract path I have been always amazed and inspired:
by his focus and sense of integrity and cohesion—he has the rare capacity and wide span of view to see entire conglomerates of interconnected elements when solving a given problem, and not just separate segments. This way he will guide you to tweak the right element with minimum effort for maximum result!
Miles is extremely versed practitioner competent and aware of the solid, as well as the subtle energetic side of our bodies.
And most of all he is a professional of great kindness capable of giving you his undivided attention!

Seeing Miles after I’d fractured my arm was a great experience. He immediately made time for me, even canceling personal appointments to fit me in. His experience in Western medicine is part of his approach. A lot of alternative medicine folks look down on Western medicine and tell you that it's not viable, but he doesn't feel this way. I've referred my mom to him – that's how much I respect him.

Miles is marvelous, careful, and just impeccable as a person, physician, and healer. I've relied on him for ten years. He asks a lot of questions and is meticulous in determining the problem. He's professional and kind, without being paternalistic. His offices are beautifully kept.

I LOVE Miles! By talking with you, using Chinese medicine and Western medicine, he has a very well rounded sense of what people need. He knows what's wrong with me the minute I walk in the office. Sometimes he tells me what's wrong before I know myself! I was apprehensive about getting acupuncture, based upon a previous bad experience, but with Miles I was amazed at the results right away.

I was diagnosed with cancer, and given six months to one year to live. I was referred to Dr. Reid, but almost got rid of his card. When I heard his voice on the phone, I could feel the goodness and spirituality. He's helped me to take a different approach to life – more relaxed to reduce stress. He has a unique way of seeing where your problems are – very spiritual, supplemented with western medical practices like blood tests. He uses the holistic approach that he lives by himself; he gave me ideas to help me reformat my life and learn the full body approach. My last scan showed that the cancer has not returned. There's no way to know if this is because of any specific thing, but he's helped me to shift my attitude and to try to create the most wonderful mood I can for myself and other people.

Miles was my last chance before neck surgery! Besides acupuncture and herbs, he also used lab tests, and physical therapy. After two months of treatment, I was completely off Advil! He has this uncanny ability to help you get to the stress in your life, which helps in the healing. He's truly a gifted healer.
