Offering the following Therapies

ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is the practice of inserting thin, sterile, single-use, filiform needles into the skin at over 360 points on the body as well as at areas of tenderness. Acupuncture has a regulating affect and works by stimulating the body's own resources and natural metabolic function to promote health and restore balance.

HERBAL THERAPY

Herbal constituents include plant, mineral, animal, and insect material. Just like the food we eat and the water we drink, herbs provide specific actions and benefits within the body. Herbal therapies provide an opportunity for the practitioner to treat patients on a daily basis, as each dose is a treatment.
