Let the body do the work it is capable of, help it by providing the resources it needs and removing any obstacles to its proper functioning.

Prevention is the practice of cultivating lifestyle habits that contribute to optimum, not just acceptable, levels of health. Knowledge is truly power in medicine and arming the patient with information is the doctor’s proper responsibility, teaching the patient how they can best care for themselves.
Acupuncture can be used to help manage a number of different problems including:
Acupunture is a practice with an ancient history and rich tradition detailing the use of very small needles at certain points on the body in order to stimulate its natural healing responses.
Needles are placed at specific points at various points all over the body according to the patient’s symptoms. Each needle is sterilized and is used only once before it is disposed of; there are no medicines on or in the needle
The sensation of the needle serves as a trigger for the systems of the body involved in restoring and maintaining health. The acupuncture needles are very unlike hypodermic needles used for injections and IV’s, and the treatment itself has been shown to stimulate a rise in endorphins and a feeling of calm.
It is true that patients often experience positive results following their first treatment, but the effects of acupuncture are cumulative and so regular treatments are considered the best approach when first beginning treatment.
