Far more than a technique of inserting tiny needles along meridian lines of the body, Acupuncture’s complex system of diagnostic methods takes into consideration the person as a whole, not just isolated symptoms. It is a practice based on discerning the bodies' "pattern of disharmony" to treat and strengthen the physical condition and overall function. In short, our objective is to increase both your ability to function and your quality of life.

Acupuncture has flourished as a primary health care modality in Asia for at least 2,500 years, is used widely throughout Europe, and yet is considered one of the newest primary health care professions in the United States. Acupuncture means the stimulation of a certain point or points on the surface of the body by the insertion of sterile needles to prevent or modify the perception of pain or to normalize physiological functions. Modern Acupuncture utilizes other modalities as well such as herbal medicine, moxibustion, exercise and nutrition.
