What is Acupuncture?

  • Acupuncture is a branch of Chinese Medicine that uses thin, hair-like needles placed on the body to activate Qi, or vital energy.

    Through the lens of Chinese Medicine, we are beings comprised of energy, and our overall health (physical, mental, & emotional) relies on the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body.

    Each body is completely unique, therefor your treatment is customized to address internal imbalances based on your individual constitution.

    Acupuncture is a natural and ancient form of medicine that dates back thousands of years to address physical pain, mental health, digestive health, emotional imbalances, and so much more!

    Acupuncture is also used as a preventative medicine to maintain balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit.

  • A more realistic question is “How CAN’T it help you?” Acupuncture can be used to maintain general health maintenance, but can also address specific ailments such as:

    Chronic joint pain, mystery pains, back pain, neck stiffness, digestive imbalances (IBS, chronic constipation, hemorrhoids, excessive bloating and gas, chronic loose stools, abdominal pain), gynecological complaints (PCOS, irregular menses, painful period, PMS, endometriosis, pelvic floor prolapse, recurrent UTI’s, recurrent yeast infections, pregnancy support), Sinus complaints (headaches, congestion, sinus drainage, ear infections, excess phlegm, sinus pressure, allergies), immunity health (common colds, cough, phlegmy cough, labored breathing, wheezing, asthma), mental health (anxiety, depression, insomnia, brain fog, burnout)

    The list goes on!

  • Cosmetic Acupuncture is a natural alternative to maintaining healthy and vibrant skin at any stage of your life!

    The acupuncture needles support the facial musculature by simultaneously relaxing and stimulating the facial muscles and while also generating micro-currents of energy, “Qi”, to provide visible nourishment and vitality to the face.

    Contrarily, other popular anti-aging modalities take another approach by injecting paralyzing neurotoxins into the muscles to cease all movement in the face, which is shown to cause sagging and atrophy over long periods of time.

    Benefits of cosmetic acupuncture includes:

    Reduce fine lines & wrinkles

    Improved collagen production

    Reduce acne & scarring

    Balance skin tone and texture

    Reduce inflammation & jaw tension

    Overall facial rejuvenation

    For optimal results, a customized series of 10-12 weekly treatments is recommended.
