Acupuncture and traditional oriental medicine are effective, natural, and drug free treatments to heal your various physical and mental health issues. Acupuncture and oriental medicine treatments are also well known for pain control with opioid like pain-free results. Acupuncture and oriental medicine can also help with internal medicine issues such as digestion issues, women’s health and infertility and irregular cycle. In fact, acupuncture and oriental medicine can be used for any medical issues except emergency conditions.
New patients commonly ask how many sessions can help their medical issues? It’s not simple to determine the correct number of treatments without watching how your body responds to treatments. Normally, a chronic condition takes more time to heal than an acute condition. For example, one patient with a recently sprained ankle needed only a single treatment to help him to be able to walk around. After that one treatment he was improving daily and in a few days he could jump around with no pain. However, if it is a chronic condition resulting from years of symptoms, then it may take months of treatments. In other words, each case varies with the number of treatments needed.
In the practice of Oriental Medicine my job is to help your body to heal with its own power, to have maximized immunity and to have a well balanced body system. This way the body can fight the disease and flush out the bad things in your body like plumbing. For that reason it is often necessary to combine acupuncture and natural herbs and to discuss lifestyle and diet.

We believe that healers should be very knowledgeable but also should be balancing healing your physical body with healing your soul. Healers should have a warm heart toward patients so that they are open to listen and pay enough attention to patients.

Nerve damage pain such as sciatica pain can create imbalance in life. People that work with computers often have other nerve pains like tingling or numbness in fingers and wrists (like carpal tunnel syndrome). Acupuncture is a natural treatment for nerve pain without any side-effects.
