Specializing in:

• Acupuncture

Chronic pain, more than any other complaint, brings people to acupuncture. Patient complaints may include pain anywhere in the body as well as headache, back pain, neck, arm, shoulder, leg and all persistent reminders of chronic pain.

Many people suffering from chronic pain have been taking pain medications, sometimes for years, but have never gained permanent relief. Also, most health care professionals agree that pain medications, even when they relieve pain, seldom address the underlying cause.

Since stress can make us sick, acupuncture relieves stress and anxiety so we often recommend periodic acupuncture care to balance Chi. This often helps replacefeelings of stress with a sense of well-being.

• Herbal Remedies

Chinese herbal medicine can be used to expedite the healing process and strengthen or tone the body. These formulas have the capacity to address the underlying root cause of various medical conditions, whether acute or chronic. When prescribed and used correctly, Chinese herbal formulas rarely cause side effects. Chinese herbal medicine is a safe, effective and drug-free way to become well and stay healthy, naturally!

Our pharmacy includes Chinese herbs, homoeopathic remedies, tinctures, teas, liquids and topicals.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine are a wonderful combination for treating infertility, IBS and insomnia to name a few.
