Introduction

As the oldest continuously practiced medicine in the world, acupuncture utilizes the insertion of very fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body. This stimulation initiates a healing response with the goal of restoring and maintaining health. It is a cost-effective, minimally invasive treatment method that has proven beneficial in the treatment of hundreds of diseases and illnesses. Acupuncture has few complications or side effects when delivered properly by a qualified practitioner. Some of the conditions treated by acupuncture and Chinese medicine include:

Pain
Pain impacts quality of life for millions of Americans, getting in the way of living life to the fullest. Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for pain without the potential side effects of medications and the trauma of surgery. Acupuncture and herbal therapy can not only reduce inflammation and pain, but also improve mobility, circulation and overall quality of life for many pain sufferers. Whether your pain is acute or chronic, our acupuncturists will discuss the results you can expect through a treatment plan suited to your individual needs.

Cardiopulmonary Issues
The heart and lungs are crucial to the overall balance and maintenance of the body’s necessary functions. When these organ systems do not function properly, it can cause serious consequences for the overall health of the individual and uncomfortable side effects. Acupuncture works to bring your body into balance, to build your immune system, to relieve discomfort, and to prevent future health problems. Ask your acupuncturist about working in concert with your medical doctor to assist in managing cardiopulmonary conditions naturally.

Genitourinary Issues
Genitourinary problems can be both painful and persistent. Many conditions can prove difficult to maintain lasting results with standard medical treatments. Utilizing the tools of Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncture and herbal therapy, our practitioners can first help to relieve the discomfort while also treating the body as a whole system, bringing it into harmony to ensure long-term results. TCM is also highly effective in the treatment of women’s health issues such as menstrual irregularities, menopausal symptoms, and fertility issues in both men and women. We would be happy to discuss your particular case and share what you may expect in terms of treatment and possible outcomes.

Gastrointestinal Issues
Acupuncture is widely accepted as a reliable method to treat gastrointestinal issues. Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the body as a whole, understanding that with these issues many areas of your life may be impacted: sleep, energy, emotions, etc. Our techniques of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Tui Na massage and cupping, can quickly and comfortably transform your digestive issues, offering lasting relief.

Wellness
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is fundamentally rooted in the idea that every aspect of the body is connected. When any one part is out of equilibrium, acupuncture can help to stabilize that disharmony. Whether seeking assistance to manage stress, to lose weight permanently, to shed years in your appearance, or to quit smoking or other destructive behaviors, our practitioners use the tools of TCM to bring wellness into your way of being. By seeking balance and harmony in both your mind and your body, we not only treat the diseases of the present, but help to prevent the diseases of the future.
