Why Acupuncture?

At our practice, we assess the pattern that is causing you discomfort and use several modalities to correct it.  We focus on results.  Usually, we can gather enough information over the phone or email to determine if you can benefit from an acupuncture treatment.  

 According to modern  scientific evidence, the stimulation of acupuncture points releases endorphins and other chemical neurotransmitters.

These neurotransmitters can decrease pain, reduce inflammation, strengthen the immune system and help our bodies fight infection.
