Everywhere you turn, someone is trying to sell you the latest and greatest new health aid. The last thing acupuncture wants to sell you is something you do not need. If you have not tried this 3000 year old proven therapeutic method for improving and sustaining your health, it’s time you did.
Unlike some medications and unhealthy dependencies, your health stands to improve and possibly thrive over time if you came for acupuncture and liked it enough to depend on regular check ins for your health management. Consider our 15 minute consultation if you are still wondering if acupuncture is for you.
Clients consistently report feeling more grounded, less stressed, and relaxed after acupuncture treatments. If they come to the clinic with any acute pain, it is often better after a treatment, and even better after a day or two.

If you’ve never had acupuncture, and you’re still either not sure or just simply afraid of needles, please know that the needles we use are nothing like getting a shot at the doctor’s office. Our needles are more like the thickness of a hair, and we have even thinner needles for first time clients so can almost guarantee a pain free treatment experience.
