Acupuncture has been clinically proven to provide not only symptomatic relief but is also effective in treating chronic ailments. By placing small sterile, stainless steel needles along specific energy pathways on the body surface, Acupuncture activates the body's own defenses and natural healing potential.
Why choose Chinese Herbology?
As part of a treatment, Chinese Herbs consisting of plants, minerals, and shells may be prescribed. While the needles work from the surface of the body, herbs do their work internally to maintain and restore health. These herbs may be combined in a formula and customized to an individual's needs.
Acupuncture can be effective for many things.
-Pain management -Digestive disorders -Respiratory disorders -Stress and depression -Addiction -Reproductive issues -Colds and flu -Low energy and fatigue -Migraines -Enhanced athletic performance.
