Report
Acupuncture is a relaxing method of healthcare which involves the placement of very thin needles through the skin at specific points on the body to maintain a natural state of harmony. Cups are applied to the surface of the body using suction created by heat, which loosens muscles, encourages blood flow, and sedates the nervous system.

Take a deep breath and exhale. You are invited to relax in the comfort and safety of this healing haven.

Your first visit will last an hour, up to 90 minutes. Please have a light snack beforehand. You can bring completed intake forms or arrive ten minutes early to fill them out in-office. Once inside the treatment room, you will have a conversation with your practitioner about your chief complaint, medical history, and lifestyle.

Report
The theory in Chinese Medicine is that "qi" (pronounced CHEE) runs along pathways, or meridians, in the body. When qi is blocked or flowing improperly, pain or illness occurs. Various therapies can help to stimulate the movement of qi thus alleviating pain or dysfunction and restoring health. Your body is an integrated whole.
