Acupuncture & Oriental Herbal Medicine

Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and improve function. This is done by inserting sterilized, stainless-steel needles (that are as fine as a human hair) into specific points located near or on the surface of the skin which have the ability to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions in order to treat a wide variety of illnesses.

Traditional Oriental Medicine views a person as an energy system in which body and mind are unified, each influencing and balancing the other. Unlike Western Medicine which attempts to isolate and separate a disease from a person, Oriental Medicine emphasizes a holistic approach that treats the whole person.
We will make an Oriental medical diagnosis based upon a thorough examination and consultation. The examination includes the assessment of the pulse and tongue. Once a diagnosis is made, we will choose the most appropriate acupuncture points for treatment.
