After a couple sessions I had complete relief from what I think was a fungal infection from inhaled cortisteroids. This worked so well I sought treatment for sciatica.

Over time this activation can disrupt sleep, digestion, mood, immune function, and cardiovascular health.

One of the most studied integrative options is acupuncture, a traditional East Asian medical therapy practiced for thousands of years and increasingly validated by modern clinical research. continue reading
Needle by Needle: Acupuncture and Healing from Trauma

People can experience trauma in a variety of ways. Trauma can be physical or emotional. It can be the result of an event like a car accident or through a relationship like with an abusive parent, teacher/coach, or spouse. Trauma doesn’t just reside in the mind but rather embeds itself deep in the body.
It can be tricky to treat and can manifest anxiety and other behavioral triggers sometimes without warning. Many trauma victims are finding that acupuncture, with its whole-person, body-based approach, offers a powerful and gentle tool for those seeking to heal from the wounds trauma leaves behind. continue reading

Five Benefits of Consistent Acupuncture Treatments

In a nutshell, traditional acupuncture, also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM, works under the belief that the body is controlled by a flow of energy called qi traveling through pathways in the body that are called meridians. Acupuncturists believe that when these pathways become blocked and the energy can’t flow freely, various health problems begin to appear. continue reading
