how can it help me?

It has come to our attention that many people don’t know much about acupuncture or how it can help them.

So I thought a note may be in order..

Acupuncture is the use of hair thin needles inserted under the skin into Channels.
These channels are like an electrical circuit of the body, or many streams nourishing the whole system. Qi runs through these circuits/rivers. These fine needless are inserted into the channel to either draw energy to the point or away from it. The needles are conductors of your body’s energy. Sometimes Qi gets blocked, like a tree falling into the river, which stops the flow of that river, whilst flooding others perhaps. It is an imbalance within the system, often causing pain, and possibly leading to other complications. This can cause dis-ease and illness.

This is a very basic explanation but it gives you a general idea of what is trying to be done. Keep in mind, it is 2500 years worth of complex medicine.

Since acupuncture and herbs treat the imbalances within the body, and dis-ease is caused by imbalance, in essence, acupuncture can treat any dis-ease

Acupuncture can treat anything from the common cold to gallbladder stones.

Some commonly treated problems are:
• Common colds, flu’s, sinusitis, allergies
• Joint and muscle pain
• Digestive issues including acid reflux, IBS, constipation, and ulcers
• PMS and menstrual irregularities
• Symptoms of menopause, including night sweats
• Stress and anxiety disorders, insomnia, nightmares
• Anger, grief, and other emotional imbalance
• Auto-immune disorders and other chronic illnesses
• Skin disorders
• Urogenital issues including hernias and UTIs
• ADD/ADHD, lack of concentration
• Low energy & fatigue
• Quitting smoking, drinking or drug withdrawal

The list truly can go on and on..

No pain is ‘normal’ and acupuncture is a natural way to helping your body correct the imbalances. The more long term the issue, the longer it may take to correct the issue, but you will notice improvements quickly.

Smoking Cessation!

Ok, first off, it works- as long as you actually want to quit.. If you only kind of want to quit, nope, acupuncture won't convince your addiction it doesnt exist, sorry..

Here is what it will do..
1) It can make the taste of the cigarette pretty gross (remember how it tasted first time you smoked? like licking an ashtray? yep, itll taste like that again..)
2) It seriously calms down that aggressive/snappy mood swing.
3) It helps your body to detox all of the poisons at a faster rate

In general it really gets you over the hump of those first few days/weeks... IF you actually want to quit.

We offer 5 smoking cessation treatments for $125.
