Acupuncture

Acupuncture Acupuncture is part of a complete system of health care that includes the use of needling, moxibustion, herbal medicine and other therapies. This medical system is used to diagnose and treat illness, manage chronic disorders, alleviate pain, and promote health through prevention.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine disposable needles along the energy pathways in your body. Needle techniques vary, and our in-house acupuncturist, Kristelyn Wachner, offers an especially gentle approach, which is influenced by Japanese styles. Most patients become deeply relaxed while the needles are in place and may even fall asleep.

Herbs are a central component of treatment and an individual approach is taken to determine your formula. Herb formulas consist of several herbs, and may be dispensed in pills, capsules, tinctures or raw form, - which requires boiling as tea. Herbs treat symptoms while promoting the body's natural healing process.

Chinese herbal medicine has been safely practiced for centuries. Herbs have the greatest potential for benefit when prescribed by a trained professional who understands the benefits and risks.

  • Back pain and neck pain
