Acupuncture Healthcare
East Asian Medicine is a comprehensive medical system that has been used for thousands of years to support and restore health. By engaging the innate healthy functions of the body and mind, East Asian Medicine is a gentle and effective approach to treating all aspects of physical health and mental wellbeing.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin, sterile needles into specific places on the body to stimulate the body and mind’s natural healing capacities and to address unhealthy patterns that have emerged to cause pain and illness. As a system that treats the whole person, acupuncture does not approach symptoms in isolation, but instead seeks to understand and treat the root imbalances underlying the entire condition. This means that we identify both how and where your body is struggling, and where your body is thriving, and work to support the healthy functions while addressing the processes that are causing pain or illness.
By engaging the body’s natural processes, acupuncture is safe and virtually free of side effects. By addressing all aspects of human health, acupuncture can support your physical, mental, emotional, and relational health and wellbeing.
