Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used practices in the world in order to treat and prevent various health conditions, disorders and diseases. Please see the list at the bottom of this page for commonly treated health concerns.

Acupuncture consists of inserting ultra-fine, sterile, single-use disposable needles into various anatomical locations on the body, in the ear, and/or on the scalp in order to address the patient’s chief complaint and return the body to homeostasis and a pain-free state. Each needle insertion creates physiological, biochemical change on the cellular level within the body, which, in turn, impacts the nervous system, various organ systems, blood flow, metabolism, pain sensitivity, and emotional well-being.

Diet and Lifestyle Counseling

Diet and lifestyle choices that impact one’s overall health include not only the quality and quantity of food selection, but also one’s exercise routine, work schedule, sleep patterns, and recreational activities. One’s environment and behavior can result in epigenetic changes which in turn affects gene expression to turn genes “on” or “off.”

Chinese Herbal Formulas

Plants, roots, flowers, and minerals are examples of substances used in order to create a customized formula that treats the patient’s chief complaint while addressing the unique constitution of the individual. Each formula is tailored to the person’s weight, medical history, current presentation, and other detailed health information gathered during the appointment.
