Acupuncture

Safe & Effective Clinical Therapy

​

Acupuncture, or zhenjiu, as it is called in Chinese, is an ancient form of needle therapy which is gaining more and more popularity in the Western world for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. Acupuncture is a physical medicine, primarily treating the cardiovascular and neurological systems of the body. 

 

During a treatment, very thin, solid, hairlike needles are inserted at specific points on the body. In Chinese these points are called “neural nodes” (jie) and the stimulation of these nodes affects both the central and peripheral nervous systems. It triggers the release of the body’s internal chemicals such as endorphins and enkephalins, which have pain-relieving properties. If you have pain that is lingering or is not being treated by other modalities, then acupuncture offers a time-tested, very reliable method of pain relief.

​

We specialize in a few different styles of acupuncture based on the condition. The acupuncture points used are in very specific places on the body. The points used are mostly located on the arms from the elbows to the fingers and on the legs from the knees to the toes, but they can also be on the face, scalp, back or belly.  Our acupuncture treatments are based on an accurate diagnosis. The treatments are efficient, comfortable and extremely effective.
