Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years as a powerfully effective and naturally relaxing form of medicine. It one of the oldest continuously practiced medical systems in the world. Acupuncture is the practice of stimulating specific points on the body with thin, sterile needles to correct imbalances in the flow of “qi” or energy through the “meridians” or energy pathways. This process not only improves the free flow of energy but also nourishes and oxygenates the organs and blood.

The principle of acupuncture is to treat each person as an integrated whole in body, mind, and spirit, and to work to heal the root cause of illness and disease as well as the symptoms. Different acupuncture points are selected according to an in-depth assessment at the time of your appointment. Location of points and the number of acupuncture points used varies each treatment.

Acupuncture alone is used by many as their first choice for healing and care. It is also very effective in combination with Western treatment to enhance recovery time and alleviate some of the side effects of certain treatments. Acupuncture treatment will often be combined in the office with Chinese Herbs, Nutrition and other Supplements for a personalized and effective treatment plan.
