What is ACUPUNCTURE?

In traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is a procedure designed to stimulate specific points on the body. Often, small needles are gently inserted into the skin in target areas. To learn more about what to expect from the procedure at our clinic, please contact us. 


Why acupuncture?

While clinical researchers are still debating about the reasoning behind its effects, acupuncture has been shown to help with pain in the neck, lower back, knees and joints (we also offer joint injections for osteoarthritis), headaches, nausea, and even chronic pain. Acupuncture has even been shown to slow down the frequency of migraines, as well as their intensity. The procedure is also therapeutical, performed in a relaxing environment aimed to relieve insomnia, depression anxiety, overall mental wellbeing amongst the physical benefits. Acupuncture is also suggested to prevent certain diseases and boost the immune system.


What are the risks?

Acupuncture is very low-risk. The risks associated with acupuncture are usually due to improper or unprofessional delivery on the practitioner's part. We can assure you that our doctor is very careful and skilled in the procedure, and will never push you beyond your point of comfort or put you at risk. Acupuncture is a safer alternative treatment for many health problems than certain medications and other invasive procedures. So, we invite you to try acupuncture. It might just be the hard-to-find solution you were looking for. Just relax and trust our professionals. You are in safe hands.
