Traditional Chinese Medicine
The Qi to better health.
Acupuncture is natural medicine. It’s a key part in helping you with pain and other disorders and find your natural balance using your body’s own natural energies, what we call Qi.
Acupuncture is part of a well-established, holistic approach to health called Traditional Chinese Medicine. Our acupuncturists are board-licensed practitioners who are also trained to help carefully prescribe herbal supplements that address each patient’s individual needs.

Whoa. Needles.
Okay. Let’s address upfront what people first think about when they’re told about acupuncture. Needles.
Acupuncture needles are nothing like those you see when you get your shots. They’re way smaller, because they don’t have to be hollow. Incredibly thin, they’re designed to slip smoothly through the skin to reach the point your licensed acupuncturist is looking for. And they don’t hurt. In fact, most people feel a pressure or slight electricity and treatments often result in the patient falling into a state of deep relaxation, sometimes referred to as the “acupuncture power nap.”
Is Acu for You?
Acupuncture involves inserting slender needles in specific points or areas to activate the nervous system. This triggers the brain’s release of neurotransmitters, restore circulation and stimulate the body’s natural ability to heal.
That means it’s an amazing and natural way to address issues such as chronic pain, stress and fatigue, dietary issues and more. Its benefits have been researched globally and is endorsed by the World Health Organization. It might feel like magic, but it’s very real.
