Scott Cedeño, Lic. Ac.
After decades of practice, I am still amazed at the body's capacity to be vibrantly well. It's such a privilege to do this work.
As a Japanese-style acupuncturist specializing in traditional and contemporary approaches to acupuncture and moxibustion, auricular medicine and microsystems, visceral manipulation, and manual medicine, Scott’s work is guided and informed by the subtle art of palpation, or the gathering, evaluation, and implementation of relevant clinical information through touch. Through this touch-based approach, each treatment is highly personalized and responsive to the patient's needs in real-time, engendering a concurrent focus on immediate patient needs, prominent treatment themes, and overall health and wellness goals.
Specializations
I work with a wide array of populations and conditions in addition to what is noted below.
Methods
Palpation Based Acupuncture
Guided by diagnostic touch, deep somatic listening reads and interprets the landscape of the body and being. Treatments take shape in real-time, as palpation and informed touch provide immediate and direct feedback mechanisms toward efficacy and effectiveness. Physical, mental, and emotional aspects are addressed concurrently. All phenomena that occur in the body are observable through touch.
Traditional and Contemporary Japanese Acupuncture and Moxibustion
Address the underlying causes of disease and illness through the Root treatment while concurrently alleviating symptoms through their Branch expressions. Follow subtle changes in texture, temperature, moisture, depth, and density to arrive at the live point, the treatment location that will make the most change for you in this very moment.
Auricular Medicine and Microsystems
Phenomenal precision in small spaces. The whole body reflected on the ear and the scalp, with subtle variations in the pulse offering a gateway to treat the entire being. Cranial nerves, frequencies, light filters, and transformation.
Visceral Manipulation and Manual Medicine
Free restrictions and adhesions along the gliding and sliding surfaces of organs, tissues, and body structures. Survey the internal landscape of your inherent resilience and adaptability through structure and body physiology.
Narrative Medicine & Medical Humanities
Explore the stories that drive us and the thoughts and forces that shape us as we concurrently form and shape the world around us.
What Patients Say
I will not rescue you,
For you are not powerless.
I will not fix you,
For you are not broken.
I will not heal you,
For I see you in your wholeness.
I will walk with you through the darkness
As you remember your light.
