Acupuncture

 

Our Naturopathic Physicians are trained and licensed in Acupuncture. We offer acupuncture for patients whom would like to add Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), one of the most ancient forms of medicine, into their treat plan. Acupuncture works to rebalance yin, yang and Qi in the body to restore health and balance.  Our Naturopathic Physicians are also trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine and can integrate botanicals, moxabustion therapies, and cupping along with acupuncture from an Eastern perspective to help the body heal itself.  

  • Acupuncture: the placement of thin needles into points along a meridian to restore energetic flow
  • Moxabustion: the burning of a natural herb over the skin to circulate/warm
  • Cupping: the placement of suction cups on the skin to relieve pain, stimulate circulation or stimulate energy
  • Chinese Nutrition Therapy: a unique view of nutrition that is specifically tailored to each individual patient
  • Electrostimulation: using tiny clips on acupuncture needles to create a gentle current and stimulate muscles

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized the benefit of acupuncture for over 100 different conditions including pain, many reproductive health complaints, infertility, mental & emotional conditions, car accidents & sports injuries, anxiety, depression and stress.
