Acupuncture
Through the practice of oriental medicine, we offer a time-tested holistic healthcare system which encompasses acupuncture, herbs, and various therapeutic modalities. Acupuncture is a special technique where very thin sterilized needles are inserted into specific body points to restore balance in the body and psyche. Acupuncture is found to be a pleasant experience by many patients and is safe for both adults and children.
Tradition and
Science
With its high safety profile and ability to address several health concerns at once, acupuncture is an effective non-pharmaceutical support option for many ailments.
The Science
Acupuncture can augment immunity, stimulate release of endorphins, decrease histamine response, encourage release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, and provide analgesic effects through its effect on nervous system.
The Tradition
Illness occurs when the energy or life force flow of the body called Qi (pronounced “Chee”) is imbalanced, interrupted, or insufficient. Acupuncture changes the flow of “Qi,” thereby restoring balance and promoting health.
