ACUPUNCTURE - It's like physical therapy for your nervous system.

​

From a Western clinical perspective, acupuncture has been proven to:

• Reduce inflammation & pain

• Improve emotional well-being by regulating the brain (ex. endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine)

• Regulate the immune system

• Balance hormones

• Activate relaxation by stimulating the body’s “rest and digest” function as opposed to the “fight or flight” stress induced function

 

In Chinese medicine, pain and disease are caused by an imbalance or blockage in:

• Blood Flow

• Fluids & Lymph

• Essential Nutrients

• Oxygen Delivery

​

Acupuncture needles are very thin, about the thickness of a human hair. There should be little discomfort with needle insertion, and we use sterile, disposable stainless steel needles exclusively for your safety.

​

Chinese Medicine is a complete medical system that has been used for over 2,000 years for preventive care, health maintenance, and treatment of disease. The goal of this holistic modality is to restore balance to the body to help recover one’s own healing capacity.

 

Rather than just focusing on symptoms, Chinese medicine seeks to determine the deeper, underlying causes of illness. Acupuncture, herbs, and nutritional therapy are included in the practice.
