“Where there is pain there is no flow, where there is flow there is no pain.”

Acupuncture is well known for pain relief. Many studies have proven it’s physiological benefits such as increased blood flow to local tissue, anti –inflammatory effects and increased release of opioids resulting in pain relief.
While you will get short term relief, we will also be working toward long term improvement of your structure and function- restoring balance.

We will discuss lifestyle modifications with you such as diet, your work and sleep environments and postural habits in order to give you tools to speed up your healing.
