Acupuncture can painlessly and effectively help to:

-facilitate weight loss, improve digestion/GI tract

-curb addictions [drugs, alcohol]

-eliminate stress [anxiety, insomnia, headaches, stress-related neckache]

-help to heal soft tissue injury [joint and muscle pain, back pain, muscle spasms, tendonitis, cramps, neck pain, strains]

*and more!

Following your first visit, you will likely feel better for a little while. The time it will take for majority improvements overall [your course[s] of treatment], depends on a number of factors like:

-how severe the injury, disease or complaint might be and how long you've had it [organs/systems affected, symptom severity], & associated risks as advised by your Physician [MD], Naturopath, Chiropractor, or other health practitioner,

-state of diet [fresh, organic food and water vs packaged/processed/microwaved food and sugary drinks],

-how much sunlight [natural vitamin D], exercise [including breathing, posture, and stretching] and rest you are getting

-quality of drink [type of water you drink, and how much, can actually be quite important!]

-consistency of rescheduling treatments: Acupuncture seems to require a closely spaced, consistent [consecutive] regimen to activate endogenous healing chemicals [made inside the body, naturally] to a sufficient level in the bloodstream that will benefit, called the "steady state."

Patient Information: Before your visit, it is suggested that:

-you have eaten a little bit, at least an hour or more previous to treatment,

-no intoxicants be consumed before visit

Cost: cash and check accepted for upfront payment of treatment packages.
