Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the primary modality of Chinese Medicine. Our sterilized, single-use, hair thin needles are used to stimulate oxygen and nitric oxide along neuromuscular vessels to improve organ function via communication with the autonomic nervous system.

Although the western world knows acupuncture mostly as something for physical pain and women’s health, it has been evidenced to have the capacity to improve almost any physiological ailment through its inherently anti-inflammatory, pro-circulatory effects.

The World Health Organization and modern hospitals recognize acupuncture as an evidence-based form of medicine by improving the immune system and circulation. 

Most sessions last about one hour, the first part of which is discussion, and may or may not include nutritional and herbal counseling. This is followed by needling, which should be quick and painless. Needles usually stay in for anywhere from 10-30 minutes, during which time you may sleep, meditate or simply relax. While some patients may experience results after just one or a few sessions, it is advisable to come 10-12 times over the course of a few months to complete a course of treatment.
