Acupuncture is an ancient method used across many cultures. It dates back as early as 6,000 years ago. The use of fine, single use needles are inserted into the body to stimulate points and pathways, called meridians. These points and pathways carry a life force, called Qi (pronounced chee), that is vital to the health of our mind and body. 

Where there is an imbalance, there will be disease. We use different tools to tap into the body’s natural intelligence to help support the healing process. Acupuncture offers support for all types of acute and chronic conditions. A few commonly treated conditions include pain, sleep disorders, stress, anxiety, menstrual issues, and fatigue.
If you are new to acupuncture, you are in the right place. We love welcoming new patients into our office and the world of optimal health.
