Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chinese Medicine is a traditional practice that is thousands of years old. Diagnostic methods focus on the unique lived experience of the patient, taking into account all the symptoms they experience to find a diagnosis. Hair width filiform needles are inserted into specific points in the body to stimulate change. Science has shown that minute stimulation in the myofascial layer of tissue can effect change throughout the body, highlighting the interconnectedness of the body’s systems. While needles may seem frightening to some, our provider employs a very gentle technique, which is virtually pain free. The effect of treatment is a deep sense of relaxation and improved well being. As an alternative treatment to consider, we also offer cupping, which may treat musculoskeletal pain and relieve symptoms of cough and cold. Acupuncture is a tool to reconnect the mind and body and find a deeper sense of health within.
