Chronic Pain
Acupuncture is a proven, natural approach to managing chronic pain and improving overall quality of life. It can help relieve long-term conditions such as back and neck pain, arthritis, joint pain, migraines, sciatica, and muscle tension.
By stimulating targeted acupuncture points, treatment helps promote blood flow, reduce inflammation, and trigger the body’s natural pain-relieving responses. Many patients experience decreased pain intensity and improved mobility.

How We Help
We start with a free consultation to discuss your health concerns and goals, and to answer any questions you might have about the process. If you choose to work with us an individualized treatment strategy will be created to incorporate proven natural therapies to help your body heal itself.
Gentle Acupuncture
Herbal Medicine
Herbs simultaneously cure AND strengthen the body. This dual action is something unique to herbal medicine that makes it very well suited to treat chronic and non-life threatening conditions.
Stress Reduction
When your nervous system is calm, your digestive system, hormonal system, immune system, and circulatory systems all calm down, too. This means less inflammation and better circulation.
Nutritional Therapy
When your cells, glands, and tissues are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need they naturally function at a very high level. This means you feel your best because your body’s key systems are optimized.
Our Process Is Simple
1
Free Initial Consultation
At your free initial consultation you’ll meet with your clinician to discuss your concerns including current symptoms, medical history, any medications you’re taking, and most importantly your goals. We want to be certain that our program is going to meet your needs and that there is a high probability of success for you – before we move forward to the next step.
2
Detailed Assessment & Treatment Plan
At your intake appointment, your clinician will do a detailed assessment of your symptom pattern, medical history, and other factors to determine the root cause of your issue and devise a specific plan of action. Your first acupuncture session will be performed at this time, and you will be given a treatment plan with exact, easy-to- follow instructions.
3
Active Treatment & Symptom Resolution
You’ll return for regular visits to ensure supporting your body, as it begins to feel the positive shifts of the therapy. We want to make sure your treatment plan is yielding the expected results. You’ll receive acupuncture and any other appropriate treatment at each visit to ensure that your progress is cumulative and your concerns are resolved as soon as possible.

Why Our Treatment Is So Popular
More Powerful than you think
Your body is capable of healing ANY problem, especially when it has the nutritional support and specialized natural therapies we offer to help it get back on track. We’ve seen this firsthand in clinic over and over.
Painless procedures
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin, and they cause no pain because they are razor sharp.
Feel better immediately
People often feel a positive shift after the very first treatment. Acupuncture is a very powerful way to stimulate endorphin release, which is the most powerful relaxing substance the body makes.
Results that stick
The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way. Our goal is to get you to the point where you don’t need us!
We treat you, not your diagnosis.
Results vary, of course, but over 75% of our patients report improvement in symptoms after just a few sessions and many are able to reduce their medication use (under supervision by the prescribing physician) as their bodies begin to function at a higher level. However, your situation is unique and once we meet with you we will be able to give you our best estimate of time and prognosis of outcome.
No horrible, super-restrictive detox or elimination diets!
Our program is all about setting you up to succeed. We find the 2 or 3 “key leverage points” in your diet and work on those. No impossible to follow meal plans or detoxes here.
Minimal disruption to your schedule
Most of our patients are able to get great results with once-weekly visits. We can discuss this in more detail at your free consultation.
