Low-Cost, Non-Invasive Treatment for Many Ailments

Have you heard of acupuncture, but never considered it as a viable option? Acupuncture is the oldest continuously practiced medical system in the world and is used by one third of the world’s population as a primary health care system. It is likely that more people have been treated by Chinese medicine throughout history than by any other formalized system of medicine.

This highly effective system of medical care is based on natural laws, which govern the movement of vital life giving energy, both in nature and in the body. This energy, called “chi or qi”, moves through the body in precise channels supporting functions of the body, mind and spirit. When “chi” is moving dis-harmoniously, imbalance begins to surface in the form of specific symptoms. To address the underlying cause of a condition, these symptoms are viewed in relationship to the totality of a person. The gentle insertion of hair thin needles at specific points along the channels of chi energy, help restore harmony. In the presence of this subtle yet profound intervention, symptoms often resolve and patients frequently experience renewed vitality. To learn more about "chi" click here.

Yin-Yang Theory

This universal symbol is the cornerstone of Chinese Medicine. It represents the universal duality of all phenomena; forces are opposite and yet complementary, all things are balancing and rebalancing into a state of perfect harmony. Our bodies are always in a state of balancing and re-balancing. Acupuncture taps into this ancient method of helping the body to restore itself to good health.
