I've had low back pain for 60 years following a fall, and then 20 years on the deck of Navy ships and two tours with the Marine Corps.  Andrea worked her magic and for the first time since my teen years I can stand up straight and zero pain.  God Bless. 
- Gary Pate, Retired Navy Corpsman

Wish I had gotten Andrea's treatments immediately when i wrenched my back, instead of suffering for a week.  Her miraculous acupuncture left me PAIN FREE after just a day.  Fantastically effective.  Thanks SO MUCH Andrea !!!
​- Nancy Khoury

Hello, my friend.  Andrea worked herself out of a job with me!  Lol.  You  fixed my neck so well I can turn it all in different directions!  And my shoulder has never been better. 
​I recommend you to everyone who asks about a massage - I hope they follow through!  If I myself tied up in a knot again I will surely present myself on your doorstep.  Thanks so much for reaching out.  Warmest Regards.

Hello,
​
​My name is Andrea Ford, L.Ac. and here at Chinese Healing Arts we help people transform their health by determining through Chinese Traditional Diagnosis and modern Functional Medicine Testing what your health concerns are and how we can support you in greatly improving your health.

Over the thirty years I have been in practice, I have learned the key areas and techniques we need to focus on to return patients to optimal health.  The different stressors in life cause the erosion of the various systems of the body; and through the appropriate Functional Medicine and Chinese Diagnostic Testing, we can see exactly what your issues are, and what you need to improve your health.  
We work with Chinese Medicine, herbology, diet, exercise, massage, and acupuncture to give you a program comprehensive enough to make a huge impact on your health and wellbeing.

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
- Thomas Edison, Inventor
Due to the experience of many stressors, which accumulate during our lifetimes, our energy systems develop deficiencies and stagnations, and that opens us to developing symptoms.  Acupuncture, herbology, and massage as well as diet and exercise are used in combination to balance the particular pattern of disharmony preventing symptoms from developing.  Chinese Medicine can be used to reduce or eliminate existing symptoms  or used to maintain your health and avoid illness altogether.

Chinese Healing Arts is the name Andrea Ford chose upon graduation from acupuncture school in 1992 to be the name of her healing practice.  The name reflects the interdisciplinary and intuitive approach Andrea has taken in discovering and mastering what would be the safest, most efficient and effective treatment possible for each of her patients.  Her own path of expansion and deepening of her practice has led her to offer and include many treatment modalities.

Naturally Healing Through Chinese Medicine 25+ Years

Andrea is the sweetest and kindest person.  She is the only one that took away my chronic pain.  The acupuncture she does helped me mentally and physically.  When you've had Andrea there is no one else that can compare to her.  Believe me!  I have tried to find just one acupuncturist that was as good as Andrea and they're just not out there.  When she took care of me she did the acupuncture treatments and also massage and the two combinations did wonders for me.  I could no longer use chiropractors because they just were excruciating pain for me.  But Andrea never hurt me and I am sensitive, but she was marvelous.

​ Unfortunately, she does not live in the state of Florida - she lives in North Carolina, and this is my problem.  Because if she lived in Florida, I'd be her first customer.  God bless your business Andrea and thank you for taking care of me.
