Acupuncture is a two thousand year old healing art that originated in China.  It uses a variety of techniques that include Needling, Herbal Medicine, Massage, and Nutrition to bring the body and mind into harmony and balance.  ​

 

Disease and Pain are understood to be caused by imbalance and disharmony within the body.  Acupuncture corrects these imbalances by restoring the body's ability to function properly and heal itself.  It can be used to treat symptoms of illness or injury, but also focuses on finding the root causes of disease. ​
