Acupuncture is an ancient art form of Oriental medical treatment. It is a non-invasive technique, which promotes natural healing. People all over the world use acupuncture to become well and stay well.
The foundation of acupuncture is based on “qi” (pronounced chee). Qi is our body’s vital energy. Qi passes through channels (meridians) in our bodies. Though these channels are invisible to the eye, treatment on these channels has been proven to signal key areas of the brain to communicate with the rest of the body. When qi stagnates, problems or conditions arise. If the stagnation remains untreated, a “domino effect” of problems can arise.

We evaluate our patients by asking questions about your health and lifestyle. Then we observe your pulse and tongue. This evaluation provides us with information about what channels may be affected in your body. We select acupuncture points based on your diagnosis, constitution, and evaluation. Sterilized, fine, disposable needles are placed in the acupuncture points. You are asked to relax with soothing music and a warm environment for approximately 20 minutes. After the treatment, we provide “food therapy” for our patients. Food Therapy is an explanation of how certain foods affect our bodies. A listing of foods to eat and avoid are given to our patients for their specific condition.
