About Acupuncture
Acupuncture, a branch of Chinese medicine involves gently inserting very small needles into the skin at various sites to induce anesthesia. Traditional and modern views differ on the benefits of acupuncture. Traditionally, by inserting needles into various points on the body it unblocks meridians in the body and increases blood flow. Modern thinking maintains that by stimulating the bodies signaling system, your natural healing processes will be sped up.
Key Benefits:
- Reduce depression effects
- Increase ability to sleep
- Assist in weight loss

Acupuncturists first need to establish what areas of the body they will need to target. This is done using four diagnostic methods. Essentially, these methods are the examination of your face and tongue, listening to breath sounds, feeling for tender spots, and understanding patient complaints. Hair-thin needles will then be gently inserted into the established target areas.
We’ll help you get out of pain and prevent future injury so that you can get back to the things in life that matter most.
