Acupuncture helps strengthen the functional energy and physiology of the body.

Acupuncture improves nervous system function, strengthens the immune system, balances hormones, boosts energy and improves circulation; which reduces pain, inflammation, hormonal imbalances and stress.

Acupuncture uses small, single-use needles to to stimulate points along the meridians of the body. The meridians are a circulatory system in the the fascia of the body.  Meridians are recognized and understood in Chinese medicine as pathways which Qi (energy) moves throughout the entire body.

Stimulating the acupuncture points along the body’s meridians improves circulation of energy, blood, oxygen and nutrients to all the cells of the body to help reduce pain, inflammation and stress; while improving the immune, reproductive, digestive and respiratory systems, as well as hormone function in the body.

Chinese medicine is the most complete, modern healthcare system in the world. Like all science and medicine, Chinese medicine is always evolving and has been in use for 2,000-4,000 years. Chinese medicine understands that the body has an innate ability to heal when given the right stimulus and support. 

Acupuncture offers a natural, non-pharmaceutical approach to medicine without side effects.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institute for Health (NIH) fully recognize Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine as a therapy to treat many disorders. I assess each of these conditions according to Oriental medicine principles and develop a treatment plan that will help you. Some health issues may be symptoms of greater medical conditions.
