Dr. Mitya Schoppe is passionate about listening closely to her patients. She practices collaborative, individualized, and evidence-based Chinese Medicine and acupuncture for wellness and the treatment of disease and injury.
After a fall, I suffered a severe concussion with significant cognitive, physical and emotional symptoms. These symptoms endured for months until my PCP recommended acupuncture. Dr. Schoppe set me on a path to recovery.

The Five Pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine as practiced at CRVA
Acupuncture
Acupuncture
They are ‘cat whiskers,’ so thin that you may feel nothing at all. Yet we know acupuncture influences nerve transmission, muscular and connective tissues, the functional energy of organ systems, and the blood and its metabolic components, such as oxygen, hormones, neurotransmitters and nutrients. That means for you a return to homeostasis and relief of symptoms without side effects.Acupuncture Specialties

Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal formulas are designed to nourish and balance, correcting patterns of disease in weeks to months, not just mask symptoms. Safety and efficacy tested over the last 2500 years, a TCM formula can speed your recovery.Manual Therapy
Manual Therapy
Tui Na (Chinese therapeutic massage), cupping, gua sha (scrapping), and moxa are an important discipline in TCM for pain reduction and symptom relief. These techniques are seamlessly incorporated into your treatment for the best outcome.Movement and Breath
Movement and Breath
Qi Gong and Tai Qi are ancient exercise programs designed to strengthen and center the body and to calm the mind and promote longevity. Studies show these practices greatly benefit balance and breath, two important aspects of long term health. Ask about local or remote classes being offered.Nutrition
Nutrition
There is no standard diet that is healthy for all people. In fact, the explosion of dietary advice and an epidemic of food sensitivities has only made it harder to make sense of what to eat. Access the wisdom from the east along with cutting edge microbiome research to improve your health and wellbeing.
I really appreciated my time with Mitya. I felt comfortable and very quickly that I was in knowledgeable hands. The acupuncture treatment was great and I will return for more.
