Welcome to the Placerville Acupuncture and Functional Medicine clinic of Alex Tuggle L.Ac.! I provide many holistic health services for you and your family's health needs. My treatments include Acupuncture therapy, Therapeutic massage, Chi Nei Tsang, Nutritional Balancing supplement programs, Hair mineral analysis lab testing and interpretation, Nutritional counseling, Medical Qigong and Guided Meditation as well as Chinese herbal medicine.

By combining both Western Biomedicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine, you get the benefits of both modern research along with the healing wisdom that has been around for centuries!

You will find that each treatment with me is sensitive, respectful, thoughtful and thoroughly directed. I look beyond the symptoms into the root cause of the problem. I take time to check-in with my patients to ensure they are progressing with their healthcare goals. My treatment style includes life coaching as I know healthy daily choices are the key to continued wellness. I encourage patients to evaluate areas of their lives that may be out of balance and require attention such as nutrition, exercise, sleep patterns and emotional health.

I am constantly sharpening my skills through mentoring, continued education and inquiry. I am excited to educate and share the benefits and practicality of Chinese medicine.
