HELP YOUR BODY HEAL

Acupuncture and herbal medicine have been used to successfully diagnose, treat, and prevent disease for over 2,000 years. The goal of treatment is to bring your body back to homeostasis, to its healthiest state of being. Please call if you have questions as to whether it’s the right fit for you.

how it works

conditions treated

Acupuncture works via the nervous system. It has a calming effect on the sympathetic aspect (the fight or flight response) of the nervous system. It improves circulation and reduces inflammation. It relieves pain, strengthens the body’s natural defenses, improves organ function and promotes overall well-being. Acupuncture has wide-ranging effects because the nervous system controls so much of our physiology.

I have effectively treated:

  • musculoskeletal pain

  • allergies

  • anxiety/depression

  • headaches

  • infertility

  • headaches

  • digestive problems

  • peri/menopause symptoms

…and a host of other health issues in my 20+ years of practice. If you struggle with health issues that affect your quality of life, you can benefit from acupuncture treatment. Please give me a call and we can discuss if acupuncture is an appropriate treatment option for you.
