Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles on the body's surface, used to influence
physiological functioning of the body. It is based on the theories of Traditional Chinese
Medicine. From a Western Medicine perspective it is thought to stimulate the immune
system, promote release of endorphins (mood elevating neurotransmitters) and
enkephalins (pain killing neurotransmitters) and enhance circulation.

Acupuncture can be used to treat
any medical condition, but we find it especially
effective for painful conditions like:
Headaches
and Migraines
Joint
pain
Back
and neck pain
Endometriosis
And
much more!
We also frequently use acupuncture
to treat infertility problems either along with
conventional treatment or on its' own. There is
substantial research showing improved effectiveness of
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment if done in
conjunction with acupuncture.

What's a treatment like?After an initial detailed
assessment, an acupuncture visit typically lasts about 30
minutes. Sterile, disposable needles are always used at
our clinic so that there is no chance of any disease
transmission. The needles are extremely fine and stay in
for 20 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as a
feeling of deep pressure, a tingling or electrical sensation.
