What is Acupuncture?
Simply put, Acupuncture is a form of treating imbalances within the body using fine, sterile needles at specific points that are known to effect physical, chemical, mental, and emotional changes. It is a term used to encompass a theory of treatment more that one technique. In fact, acupuncturists may also use cupping, scraping, cold-laser therapy, micro-current stimulation, far infra-red light therapy and other modalities, in addition to needles. All these techniques are used towards the primary goal of restoring balance and harmony to the human system.

What if I'm afraid of needles?
Acupuncture needles are very different than the needles at your doctor or dentist's office. Many are finer than a horse hair. This makes them virtually painless and are often never felt.
However, in cases where the fear of needles is an obstacle, for small children, and for those with bleeding disorders, we offer needle free treatment options.
