Scottsdale Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine offers non-invasive treatment modalities, with ZERO side effects!

What Sets Scottsdale Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine Apart? Simply put, it is the variety of comprehensive treatment options. They don’t offer just one modality, but several, including:

• Acupuncture—The most commonly used method at Scottsdale Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine to promote healing and balance within the body.
• Herbal Medicine—For every illness or imbalance, there is usually an herbal remedy to correct it.
• Diet & Nutrition—Many diseases, illness, and disharmonies can be directly related to the food we eat. Improved diet and nutrition is an integral part of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.
• Lifestyle Modification—Learn ways you can modify your lifestyle habits, such as sleep, exercise, and supplement regimen, to achieve optimum health.

Alternative Medicine Simplifies Things. In Western medicine, if a patient has 10 different symptoms, they visit many different doctors to treat each symptom. At Scottsdale Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine, a patient can come in with 10 problems and Monica Behling-Anghel can track down the root cause. She can then narrow the problem down to one or two organ system disharmonies, which can then be treated through acupuncture, diet, or lifestyle changes, relieving ALL of the original symptoms!

Scottsdale Acupuncture Can Help Treat:

• Allergies
• Sleep Disturbances
• Digestive Disturbances
• Infertility Issues
• It is also a wonderful complimentary medicine for cancer treatments and works to alleviate chemotherapy side effects. For example, patients often come in very nauseous and fatigued and walk out feeling energized and ready to eat lunch that same day.
• And Much More!

Meet the Owner: Monica Behling-Anghel, L.Ac MSOM and owner of Scottsdale Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine, was always interested in natural healing. And it runs in the family; her mom and grandfather were both herbalists. Several years ago, Monica was living in Seattle when she hurt her wrist. She received acupuncture and experienced an amazing recovery. After healing, Monica kept going once a week for a year and had amazing results—increased energy, never got sick, and her insomnia went away.

Monica then decided she had to learn more about acupuncture. She went to school, trained in herbs, acupuncture, nutrition, graduated, and later opened her own practice in 2003—Scottsdale Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine!

Meet the Scottsdale Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine Team. They are knowledgeable and professional medical massage therapists. They offer more than just relaxation, and are highly trained to provide relief from medical issues.

Allison Carmody—A recent transplant from the Washington D.C. area, Allison has been specializing in deep tissue and sports massage since 2015. She loves working with clients who want to address specific conditions or chronic complaints, as well as those who just love a good deep-pressure massage.

Allison is licensed in the state of Arizona, and is board certified with the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB). Her training includes Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. Allison is also certified in Active Isolated Stretching, ACE Massage Cupping and Myoskeletal Alignment Technique.

Dan Klausner—A stellar athlete himself, Dan has completed many marathons, including the Boston Marathon. He is well versed in many sports-related injuries and can customize treatments to fit individual needs. Dan works with professional athletes, as well as weekend warriors and anything in-between. He is well trained in many different modalities including Traditional Thai massage and Shiatsu.

Functional Medicine. Monica has also trained in functional medicine. Acupuncture, herbs, and diet are all great, but she needed more education on how to treat the diseases of today such as autoimmune diseases. Functional Medicine is a personalized and integrative approach to healthcare which involves understanding the prevention, management and root causes of complex chronic disease such as autoimmune disorders.

Food for Thought. Monica is very well educated in food medicine. She does not believe in fad diets. Rather, Monica creates personalized diet plans geared specifically to treat YOUR disease or condition. She will tell you the specific foods to either eat or stay away from to overcome health issues.

Change Your Lifestyle, Change Your LIFE! Monica believes everything can be changed for the better by proper nutrition and says lifestyle changes are huge. Patients can reverse almost any disease mechanism with dietary changes. She explains: Viral loads are pockets of viruses that we live with every day—everybody has them. They are not compatible with our bodies and can be quite destructive to our health. They grow out of control when we ingest certain foods, are over stressed, experience trauma or are exposed to toxins or heavy metals. Epstein-Barr virus, in particular, is one that contributes to auto immune problems. When you treat the viral loads by eating foods that kill viruses and you stop eating foods that feed them, symptoms subside and life gets profoundly better! She can also recommend foods and supplements that can help detox your body of toxins and heavy metals. Clean out the gunk and reclaim your good health!

H2O. Monica stresses that hydration is extremely important! Hydration is one simple thing that is so vital, yet so overlooked. A 2 percent drop in hydration can cause all sorts of problems. It is not as simple as drinking enough water because the water in our world today is not structured properly anymore. It contains heavy metals, plastic residue, and lots of other bad stuff, which prevents the water from getting into the cell properly. Water can be restructured with a mineral blend to be easily absorbed by the body. One thing you can do on your own is to eat lots of fruits and vegetables. They are full of properly structured water. Juicing is great too!
