Acupuncture Therapy

Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine (also known as Chinese medicine, Traditional Chinese medicine, Oriental medicine) has been practiced in many parts of Asia for the past 4,000 years.

Acupuncture is an almost painless technique of inserting sterile, non-reusable, hair-thin needles into the influential points throughout the body called acupuncture points to restore health and balance. These points can also be seen as trigger points. Acupuncture is a component of East Asian Medicine (EAM). It is one of the more commonly used complimentary medicines in the United States and is recognized by both the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Today acupuncture is commonly used for pain conditions, mental health, infertility and pregnancy support. Acupuncture is an adjunctive medical therapy. If you are unsure if acupuncture may offer relief for some of your aliments please call to inquire.
