ABOUT ACUPUNCTURE

​​Chinese medicine, a four thousand year old healing art, emphasizes a holistic approach that treats the whole body to improve health and find balance.  Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and improve function.  Patients are treated by the practitioner manipulating fine needles that have been inserted into the body at precise points shown to be effective in the treatment of specific health problems.  The points on the body have been mapped by the Chinese over a period of thousands of years.  Many acute and chronic conditions can be improved or relieved with acupuncture treatments.
