Acupuncture is just one aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  While it is an integral part of our treatments, we also incorporate herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping, acupressure, nutritional guidance, and meditation.

aCUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture therapy uses micro-thin disposable sterile needles that are gently inserted into selected acupuncture points.  These points are found along defined pathways that run throughout the body. Health is optimized when energy, known in traditional Chinese medicine as "Qi", circulate smoothly through these pathways. When the smooth flow of Qi is interrupted, illness, pain, fatigue, and emotional imbalance occurs.  Acupuncture stimulated Qi flow, relieves pain, improves blood circulation, boosts the immune system, regulates hormones, releases endorphins, and helps the body naturally return to balance.

ASIAN MEDICINE

Chinese medicine has been practiced in China and East Asia for over 5,000 years and has been extremely effective as a primary health care modality.  The United States and Europe began the study and practice of these techniques in the mid 1950's.  Chinese medicine encompasses many healing techniques - together they form a holistic approach that addresses the person as a sum whole of body, mind and spirit.
