The ancient Chinese believed that all life is animated by a vital energy called qi. Qi is what gives our eyes their sparkle. Chinese Medicine taps into that vital energy and stimulates your body’s inherent healing ability.

Acupuncture is the primary pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been successfully practiced for over 3000 years and in this country, it is one of the most respected and widely used forms of complementary medicine being practiced today.

Qi flows in specific pathways called meridians that traverse the body. It provides nourishment to all the muscles, cells, tissues and organs. If there is not enough qi, or if it is not flowing smoothly, pain and dysfunction may result. Inserting tiny needles into points along these meridians regulates the flow of energy- increasing it in areas where it is deficient, and clearing out areas where there is blockage.

Acupuncture restores balance and increases vitality. Treatments are safe, gentle and relaxing. It effectively addresses acute and chronic conditions. Issues that do not have a definitive diagnosis have also responded positively to acupuncture. Some conditions that can be treated by acupuncture are:
