Acupuncture
Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world,
started over 3,000 years ago and used ever since. Acupuncture aims
to restore and maintain your body's health through the insertion
and manipulation of tiny needles into specific points on the body.
The needles we use are about the diameter of a human hair and
virtually pain-free. When inserted, you may feel a small pinch which goes away immediately, or even no discomfort at all.
Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine
Herbal Medicine
We often use herbal medicine in addition to acupuncture to better balance your body internally. When appropriate, your acupuncturist may recommenced a herbal medicine to support your body's healing process. Similar to a medical prescription, the herbs are prescribed to address your specific health concerns.
