Conditions Treated
Acupuncture and it’s sister modalities offer a comprehensive system of medicine that works on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. Since these modalities seek to increase the smooth flow of energy, to relax the nervous system, regulate constriction and nourish depletion, a wide range of disease manifestations can be treated, from sports injuries to complex chronic disease to mental-emotional stress
