ORIENTAL MEDICINE makes use of acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and massage to address chronic patterns
and acute conditions, including:
*Musculoskeletal Pain

Treatment with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs can be a balancing adjunct to psychotherapy during times of high stress, loss, or transition.
People who want to decrease use of western pharmaceuticals (under the supervision of their prescribing physician) may find that treatment with acupuncture and Chinese herbs, along with nutrition awareness and exercise, can ease the process.
THE EXPERIENCE OF ACUPUNCTURE
Many people who have never received acupuncture are worried: will it be painful?
There
is some sensation as the needle is inserted (which varies depending on
the person and the part of the body) but not many people consider this
particularly painful. More signficant is the overall feeling of
peaceful relaxation which comes with most acupuncture treatments.
Because points are chosen to balance what has been out of balance, a common response to acupuncture is: “I feel myself again!”
