Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a therapy that promotes health and relieves pain and suffering. It treats the whole person, resulting both in alleviation of symptoms and an enhanced  well-being.

Problems commonly treated with acupuncture that I treat in my clinic are:

Pain management for Cancer Treatment: Breast cancer, Head & Neck Cancer.....

Infertility, Stress & Anxiety, Headache & Migraine, Sinus & Allergies, Asthma,  Pain (Back, Neck & Shoulder, Knee, Sciatica, Fibromyalgia), Insomnia, Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue, Depression, PMS or Painful Cramps, Amenorrhea, Irregular Menstruation, Menopausal syndromes, Bell's Parsley, Obesity and Smoking addiction.

Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used medical procedures in the world. Originating in China more than 2,300 years ago, acupuncture began to become better known in the United States in 1971, when New York Times reporter James Reston wrote about how doctors in China used needles to ease his abdominal pain after surgery. Research shows that acupuncture is beneficial for relief or prevention of pain and various other health conditions.  A Harvard University study published estimated that Americans made more than five million visits per year to acupuncture practitioners.

How does Acupuncture work?

Acupuncture helps the body use its innate ability to heal itself. Acupuncturists regulate and balance the flow of Qi ("chee"), the body's life force through channels on the body that have been identified through centuries of meticulous clinical observations by Chinese practitioners. Very thin filament needles are inserted at precise locations along these channels to improve the flow of qi and help alleviate symptoms. These needles are sterile and disposed after one use.
