Acupuncture is a technique that has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years. Acupuncture uses very fine, single-use, and sterile acupuncture needles placed in specific acupuncture points along the body to promote, restore and maintain health. The acupuncture technique that I use is extremely gentle and comfortable! Acupuncture has been recognized by the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Health to be a safe and effective treatment for many common disorders.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT?

On your initial visit, together we will complete a thorough evaluation of your specific concern as well as go through an evaluation of your other body systems that may be involved. In Traditional Chinese Medicine we look at the body as a whole and are trained to see the connections between symptoms that may seem unrelated to your main concern.

After your consultation, if we determine that acupuncture will be beneficial for your condition we will proceed with treatment. Wear loose and comfortable clothing for your treatments.

Very fine, single-use, and sterile acupuncture needles will then be placed in specific acupuncture points along the body, most commonly we use points on the arms and legs. You will then be able to rest comfortably with the needles for about 20-30 mins. During this time most patients report feeling very relaxed and restored, some even fall asleep! After your treatment we will review your customized treatment plan.
