Acupuncture

Spanning 4,000 years of clinical experience, traditional Chinese medicine is a healing philosophy based upon the principle of life energy, known as the chi, and its balance within the body, known as the yin and yang or five-element approach. An unbalanced chi affects the overall health of the mind, body and spirit.

Our practitioners use tongue and pulse diagnosis and symptom history to prescribe the right combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs, to restore the balance of chi within your body. Through stimulation by use of very fine needles on defined points on the body, acupuncture circulates energy along well-defined pathways in your body, known as meridians, that are thought to be energetically-connected to your body's organs, structures and systems.

Virtually painless, acupuncture helps with:

  • Addiction rehabilitation
  • Asthma
  • Chemotherapy recovery
  • Chronic pain
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Headaches
  • Neurological and muscular disorders
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Stress management and tension release
  • Stroke recovery
  • Surgical recovery
  • Urinary, menstrual and reproductive problems
