A Paradigm Shift in Healthcare
Trust in your body’s own intelligent design
Natural healthcare that restores function, gives you energy, and helps you feel whole—without the endless medication and referral specialist rollercoaster you may never get off of.
Meet Dr. Spinali
I trust the medicine. It’s a 2,000-year-old practice, and I’ve witnessed the incredible healing that Chinese medicine is capable of. This medicine changed my life first—and that’s why I’m excited about it. That energy translates to my patients.
I work with intention. Every patient, every point gets my full attention with intention. I treat my patients like family—I’ll always give them what they need and be honest about what they don’t. I’ll tell it like it is when no one else will, and I’ll be your biggest fan and remind you of your capability.
“I believe I can help you unless I can’t. I’ll let you know to the best of my experience whether I think I can help you and be honest if I don’t think I can.”
Since 2015, I’ve treated thousands of patients. I built a successful clinic in California, closed it when we moved across the country, and without fear or hesitation—because I’ve proven this medicine works—I opened a new clinic here in Tennessee and built another successful practice in less than 3 years.
What Makes Us Different
Not all acupuncture clinics are created equal. Here’s what sets Red Crane Wellness apart.
Advanced Pulse Diagnosis Training
I’ve spent 10 years mastering medical pulse diagnosis—studying with Masters to feel even the most subtle nuances. This isn’t taught in school, and most acupuncturists don’t do this. It strips away complexity in difficult cases and gives us a clear starting point for treatment.
You’re Family, Not a Number
I treat my patients like family. I’ll always give you what you need and be honest about what you don’t. I’ll tell it like it is when no one else will, and I’ll be your biggest fan and remind you of your capability.
No Expensive Packages
I don’t rope people into buying expensive treatment packages. If treatment is working for you, I don’t need to capture your commitment with high-price bundles. On the flip side, I don’t want to hold anything over your head if this isn’t for you. We’re flexible and you have freedom.
Complete Customized Care
You’re not just getting acupuncture. You’re getting herbal prescriptions, nutritional guidance, and supplement support—a well-rounded approach customized to your specific needs. That’s what makes the difference.
This Medicine Changed My Life
I trust this medicine because it changed my life first. I’ve witnessed the incredible healing that Chinese medicine is capable of, and I’m excited about it. That energy translates to my patients—they feel it and get excited too.
Proven Track Record
I built a successful clinic in California, closed it when we moved across the country, and without fear or hesitation—because I’ve proven this medicine works—I opened a new clinic here in Tennessee and built another successful practice in less than 3 years.
What Guides Everything We Do
“I trust the medicine. It’s a 2,000-year-old practice, and I’ve witnessed the incredible healing that Chinese medicine is capable of.”
Trust in the Medicine
This isn’t experimental. Chinese medicine has 2,000 years of documented history—the Materia Medica book on herbs with indications and functions that were carefully collected and studied. I’ve witnessed its incredible healing capabilities firsthand. This medicine changed my life, which is why I’m excited about it. That energy translates to my patients.
Work with Intention
Every patient, every point gets my full attention with intention. This is the key. I don’t just go through the motions—I’m present, focused, and committed to your healing in every treatment.
Flexibility and Curiosity
Chinese medicine is vast, and I’m the first to search and learn if there’s a better way. I go the extra mile to help my patients heal. If there’s an approach that might work better for you, I’ll find it.
Real People, Real Results
These aren’t just testimonials—they’re documented outcomes from patients who were told nothing else would work.

Beth was told she had Barrett’s esophagus and could never get off her acid blockers.

Successfully reversed acid reflux and eliminated PPI dependency

Cathy was diagnosed with PCOS. Her doctor told her she could never have children.

Her beautiful daughter is now 6 years old

Successfully treated diabetes and eliminated metformin dependency

Debilitating Migraines: Pain-Free in One Hour
Marissa suffered debilitating migraines every couple of months that landed her in the ER where she was heavily drugged.
Her last migraine lasted 3 days even after an ER visit and medications. She came in with a 9/10 pain level.
After her acupuncture visit, she left one hour later migraine-free.
“I walked in with a 9 out of 10 migraine and walked out WITHOUT ANY PAIN. I could not believe it.”
Education & Credentials
Board-certified with advanced training that goes beyond standard acupuncture education.
Advanced Specialized Training
Continuing education is required to maintain licensure, and I attend one or more training sessions every year to further my skills.
Medical pulse diagnosis is where I stand apart. I’ve spent 10 years mastering this technique—studying with Masters to feel even the most subtle nuances in the pulse. This isn’t taught in standard acupuncture school, and many acupuncturists don’t practice it at this level.
Pulse diagnosis strips away complexity in difficult cases and gives us a clear starting point for treatment. It’s one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in Chinese medicine, and it’s a core part of how I approach every patient.
Common Questions
Here’s what most people want to know before their first visit.
What to Expect
Here’s how the process works from your first visit to ongoing care.
First Visit: Assessment & Diagnosis
Your first visit takes about an hour. We’ll gather your complete health history, assess your signs and symptoms, conduct a physical exam, and perform tongue and pulse diagnosis. Through this comprehensive evaluation, we’re able to determine how to best approach your condition. By the end of this visit, we’ll have a good idea about how long treatment is recommended for.
Initial Treatment Phase
Sometimes after the first visit you can feel a weight has lifted that you didn’t even know was there. As you continue with consistent treatments, the changes are incremental and build upon each other. Your rate of progress depends on your readiness to get healthy—meaning your commitment to doing the suggested protocols.
Feeling the Transformation
After weeks or a few months, you’ll begin to feel a new sense of vitality and you will know that you’re headed in the right direction. You’ll feel more connected with yourself and develop a greater understanding of your body’s needs. You’re not just feeling better—you’re transforming the feeling of helplessness into knowledge and empowerment.
Ongoing Wellness
Success looks like having the life you’ve imagined. Waking each day with energy, feeling great, being present and nurturing your relationships. When we’re in a funk due to pain or illness, we can become irritable and avoid activities we once looked forward to. That kind of life over time creates deep dissatisfaction and stagnation. We work toward your goal of the actual change you want to see in your daily life.
