Acupuncture

"I could always tell when it was going to rain because of swelling and pain from an old foot injury.  I started going for acupuncture, however, because of neck pain from an automobile accident; I had never been introduced to acupuncture before and am very scared of needles.  I not only didn't feel the needles and my neck pain subsided, but I also no longer have the swelling and pain in my foot!  I love having to watch the weather now."  Christine S.              Current Acupuncture Client

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ?

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a complete medical system that has been practiced for over two thousand years.  Based on simple observations of the connection between the human body, the cosmos, and nature, this system continuously allows itself to be refined and customized to each individual.

The ability to treat the underlying cause rather than the symptom makes TCM beneficial to nearly every condition.
