Acupuncture is part of a medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat and prevent illness for over 4,000 years. Because of its effectiveness, acupuncture is now gaining broad popularity in the U.S. as a holistic complement to Western medical treatments. Specific points are stimulated along bio-energetic pathways which traverse all of the body’s organs and systems. In this gentle but powerful way, acupuncture triggers the body’s own healing mechanisms to eliminate illness and promote optimal health.

Whole Systems Traditional Chinese Medicine is a system of healing that takes into account the multi-dimensional nature (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual) of human beings and strives to bring balance to the ‘whole’ person.
It is based on the observation that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. Given the right ingredients – appropriate nutrition, adequate rest and rejuvenation, and mental/ emotional balance – the body can heal, repair and recover into good health. Chinese medicine has understood this for thousands of years and works by optimizing the body’s natural abilities to restore health.
It includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, meditation and energy building exercise like Tai-Qi. All of which give your system the opportunity to renew, recharge and re-balance.

Most people are pleasantly surprised to find that receiving acupuncture is a comfortable and relaxing experience. We use the tiniest, and gentlest needles for our treatments. While it’s normal to feel sensations like warmth, distention, or heaviness, most people find the experience very soothing and often fall asleep.

One of the great benefits of Acupuncture is that adverse side effects are extremely rare. You can feel secure knowing that our practitioners are State and National Board certified as well as Clean Needle Technique (CNT) certified. We use only sterile, single-use, disposable needles.

They are both modalities used in Chinese Medicine, the world’s oldest continually practiced form of medicine. Herbology is an integral component of Chinese Medicine. Together with acupuncture, the two produce a powerful synergy.
