Why Acupuncture?

Through acupuncture, the body’s innate ability to heal itself is stimulated. Thin, sterile, single-use stainless steel needles are gently inserted to promote a balanced flow of energy, increasing oxygenation of the tissues, while regulating and releasing immune substances, anti-inflammatories and even hormones. Through a complex diagnostic system, practitioners are trained to determine the unique constitution of the individual, which areas are out of balance and how to bring harmony back to the body through acupuncture, herbal medicine and lifestyle remediation.

Acupuncture for
Chronic and Acute Pain

Acupuncture not only helps to repair injured muscles and joints, it also stimulates the release of your body's own anti-inflammatories and pain relieving neurotransmitters while changing the way pain is perceived in the nervous system.
