Acupuncture is a treatment that uses needles to stimulate specific points on the body. It encourages the body’s natural chemicals to help reduce pain while improving circulation to the affected area. Our physicians, who are accredited and certified to perform the procedure, combine traditional Chinese and French acupuncture techniques, along with evidence-based pain management methods. We can use acupuncture for the following conditions, which are recognized by the World Health Organization as being helped by acupuncture:
- Digestive disorders, including gastritis and spastic colon
- Respiratory disorders, including sinusitis and asthma
- Neurological and muscular disorders, including headaches and sciatica
- Muscular disorders, including plantar fasciitis, low back pain, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel
- Menstrual and urinary disorders
- Infertility
