CONDITIONS TREATED
with ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing technique used to promote well-being and to treat a wide range of conditions.
Though its roots lie in ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture has become more popular in modern times for the variety of health benefits it can bring. Acupuncture is based on the premise that any disturbance or blockage in the free flow of energy, or Qi, can cause disease, discomfort or other health issues. These disturbances can be relieved by the placement of thin needles at various points in the body.
Acupuncture is renowned for its ability to relieve pain, soothe anxiety and stress, and help alleviate many common and uncommon symptoms and illnesses. Acupuncture Place is trained to work with patients with complex medical conditions as well as healthy individuals who want to maintain wellness. Acupuncture can be used alone or in combination with other complementary or conventional medicine treatments.
TREATING FROM THE ROOT
With treatments focused on the root of the imbalance and not just the symptoms or disease, Acupuncture can treat a wide range of conditions.
Acupuncture is a safe, effective and drug free option for the treatment of many chronic conditions that may not respond to other treatments.
Acupuncture pinpoints energy channels, called meridians, to restore the body’s flow of energy, creating balance and encouraging good health.
Acupuncture can promote the release of endorphins, pain-relieving chemicals, and immune system cells, which aid the body in the natural healing process.
"EVERYTHING we do challenges our state of HEALTH.
BALANCING stress provides a state of WELLNESS
NOURISHING wellness is HEALTH"
