Please make sure to book the Initial Acupuncture session if this is your first visit with us or if it's been over 1 year since you're last visit! Acupuncture is a holistic medicine that began about 3,500 years ago in China. Acupuncture is the use of small needles to free and aid one's qi, often translated as energy or life force. This method of healing doesn't just treat disease, it treats the person, combining the physical with the emotional or spiritual, or internal, being. Chinese medicine strives to heal with the idea that the mind is richly integrated with the body, that both must be attended to. The best results can be achieved from acupuncture when it is practiced regularly. Rather than a quick fix, it should be viewed as a lifestyle change, like eating healthy, or regular exercise.
