Conditions We Treat
Acupuncture and herbal medicine are natural, non-pharmaceutical approaches have been proven to reduce pain, alleviate or eliminate chronic health issues, ease addictions, and enhance fertility. We work hand-in-hand with your other healthcare practitioners to complement any treatment you are already receiving; our goal is to meet you wherever you may be in the process.
Mental Health
If constant stress, anxiety, or depression feels like a normal part of your life, acupuncture can bring you relief. Acupuncture signals your body to regulate hormones and brain activity, in turn boosting your natural ability to manage stress and relax. With repeated treatments, your body begins to create this balancing effect on its own. You feel more in control, have increased confidence to manage whatever comes your way, and regain the freedom to live your best life.
Digestion
If you are living with fatigue, gas, bloating, or inflammatory bowel disease, acupuncture treatment is a great option. Restoring digestive, metabolic and detoxification functions of the stomach, intestines, pancreas, and liver can relieve these symptoms. Treatment renews tissue, balances metabolism, benefits cellular absorption and improves nutritional status. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also included as an important part of healing digestive conditions.
Skin Conditions
If you have a chronic skin condition, acupuncture and herbal medicine can provide relief when topical creams and steroids stop working. Difficult dermatological conditions usually relate to an overstimulated immune system and endocrine systems. Common skin problems can be improved using acupuncture and herbal medicine to aid the body system in balancing hormonal production, immune responses and inflammation. Over time, by treating the condition from the root cause, the lesions and itching of skin conditions can be dramatically reduced.
Allergies & Autoimmune Disease
If you have an autoimmune condition or are struggling with environmental allergies, acupuncture may provide relief, or can be used as an alternative to rheumatological treatments with unpleasant side effects. Acupuncture therapy aims to recover the body’s natural anti-inflammatory and barrier functions to prevent severe histamine reactions and reduce antibody generation to decrease the severity of symptoms. Treatments, along with diet and lifestyle modifications, can make a big difference in these conditions. Our practitioners can order serum or saliva testing to diagnose autoimmune conditions with clinical accuracy and to monitor progress with empirical data.
Chronic Pain
If you have acute or chronic pain you know how much it can affect every aspect of your daily life. Acupuncture has been recognized as an effective therapy to relieve pain through its influence on the nervous system and circulatory system. The most common conditions we treat include arthritic and degenerative joint conditions, back pain, TMJ, and headaches. Acupuncture has the benefits of being safe, non-addictive, and non-invasive. In addition to acupuncture, pain conditions are addressed with acupressure, massage, heat, cupping, and exercise instruction. Herbal medicine is also helpful in rehabilitation by restoring blood flow and enhancing recovery from injuries. Mood and energy, sleep, and ease of movement are all improved by the combination of these therapies.
Women’s Health
If you desire holistic care to enhance your regular OB/GYN care or reproductive care, we can help. Many women’s health conditions are treated very effectively by the multi-faceted, personalized approach we offer. This approach works to address hormonal issues involving menstrual cycles, infertility, or menopause, as well as provide care and support before, during, and after childbirth. Diet and lifestyle recommendations, nutritional support, stress management, and
mind-body connection work together as a holistic support system that nurtures women in all phases of life.
