Acupuncture is a holistic medical practice that originated in China over 3,000 years ago. It uses sterile, hair-thin needles to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.

Acupuncture is based on the understanding that health is achieved through balance. Symptoms like pain and indigestion arise when there are imbalances in the body. Through observation, asking questions, and tongue and pulse diagnosis, we can determine the specific pattern of imbalance causing your symptoms and get to the root of the issue. By treating the underlying imbalance, we address a wide range of conditions and many seemingly "unconnected" symptoms in a single treatment. As a preventative medicine, acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can correct minor imbalances before they become chronic or pathological. 

Today, the benefits of acupuncture are recognized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
