What Acupuncture Treats
I am always surprised at people's surprise of what acupuncture can help with. Patients always ask "Oh, can acupuncture help with this?" or "Oh, acupuncture can help with that?". The answer to those questions is that there is no easy answer, so my short is "Yes!"
General Health
Acupuncture is wonderful for re-balancing and revitalizing the human body. Whether you simply want some health maintenance, have chronic sleep issues, or just want to try another holistic medicine acupuncture is a great choice!
Just to name a few:

Pediatrics
Pediatric acupuncture is a great way to keep your kids healthy and happy and children are especially responsive to Acupuncture and other non-invasive modalities like Acupressure, Tui Na, Gua Sha, and Herbs. All these methods are safe to use on all ages --- even infants!
Just to name a few conditions:
-
Weak constitution, weak immune system
-
Colic, excessive night crying
-
Digestive health (GERD, constipation, diarrhea, etc.)
-
Night terrors, sleep issues, bedwetting
-
Allergies, asthma
-
Skin disorders and hives
Children (even the young adults) innately fear needles, especially since immunization shots and blood draws inevitably result in pain. Acupuncture needles are much smaller, thinner, and gentler, but to children needles are needles. In treatment, we may treat the parent first to let the child feel more comfortable and see that there is no pain involved.
Facial Rejuvenation
Facial/Cosmetic Acupuncture and Microneedling are natural, holistic ways to look and feel renewed. Not only can these methods be used for rejuvenation, they can also be used for other symptoms like:
-
Acne
-
Hair Loss
-
Neuromuscular Facial Conditions (i.e. TMJ, Trigeminal Neuralgia, etc.)
