What is Acupuncture ?
BOOK APPOINTMENTAcupuncture is an ancient method of balancing and building the body’s energy used across the world. Chinese Medicine views disease as the result of an imbalance or blockage in the body’s natural energy flow. Acupuncturists insert sterile needles into specific points on the body that act as conduits for energy circulation to bring the body into balance.

Cupping
Increasingly popular, cupping helps to alleviate stagnation and clear heat from the body. It helps to improve blood and lymphatic flow to areas with poor circulation. We love how quickly it works to alleviate pain and stiffness.

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is the burning of processed mugwort to warm and strengthen. We use it to alleviate pain, warm the body, increase circulation and even stop bleeding. And we love using moxa to help turn breech babies.

E- Stim
E-stim uses electrical pulses to mimic the action of signals coming from neurons (cells in your nervous system). These mild electrical currents target either muscles or nerves. E-stim therapy for muscle recovery sends signals to targeted muscles to make them contract.
