Acupuncture

Acupuncture is based in Traditional Chinese Medicine.  It is a safe, effective treatment for many conditions including:

  • Pain – often decreased in the very first visit
  • Inflammation
  • Headaches
  • Digestive complaints
  • Low energy
  • Sleep disturbances
  • High stress
  • Mood disorders (depression, anxiety)
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Allergies
  • Addictions

We use a variety treatment methods:

Needles

The insertion of very small needles helps to stimulate the release of energy and allows the body to heal itself. Many people are concerned about the discomfort involved in this treatment; rest assured that any discomfort is very minimal and momentary.

Electronic stimulation

Using a small amount of electrical stimulation of the needles helps to make your treatment more effective; you will have faster response to treatment and have longer lasting results

Moxibustion

This is an herb that is burned to increase the flow of energy at certain points in the body. It is not painful; often patients report a feeling of gentle warmth.

Cupping

Warmed glass cups are placed on the skin, forming a gentle suction.  This acts as a very deep tissue massage. Toxins are released and muscles relax very quickly.
