Acupuncture and Herbs
(Traditional Oriental Medicine)

Acupuncture is one of the newest primary health care professions throughout the United States. The benefits of acupuncture have become widely recognized and integrated with mainstream healthcare. Acupuncture treats and strengthens physical conditions, physiological functions and controls pain. The goal is not just to eliminate or alleviate symptoms, but to treat the underlying cause, and improve the quality of life.

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine is a complete medical system that has diagnosed, treated and prevented disease for over 2,500 years. The general theory is based on the premise that there are pathways of Qi (pronounced chee) throughout the body that are related to the organs and musculoskeletal systems.

When energy flow is disrupted due to trauma, poor diet, medications, stress, or other conditions, pain or illness can be the result. Acupuncture focuses on correcting imbalances by inserting ultra-thin needles under the skin to stimulate specific points in the body. Stimulation unblocks and encourages the even flow of Qi, restoring the body's balance, relieving pain and other symptoms.
