Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

In a traditional Acupuncture treatment, we perform an evaluation using a tongue exam, pulse reading, and/or abdominal palpation combined with an intake questionnaire including a set of questions about your body's systems. After this initial process you can expect a tailored treatment focusing on your specific needs. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles to specific points on the body for treatment of various ailments. For optimal results one of the below or a combination may be applied-

Cupping
Gua Sha
Moxibustion
Heat/Heat Packs
Stimulation or Manipulation of Needles
Massage Therapy
Acupressure
