Treatment

Listed below are the types of treatment methods that are available to patients at our office. While not all of our treatments methods are appropriate for every condition, a unique treatment plan is designed for each patient by combining these modalities to help each patient achieve their health goals.

Acupuncture Therapy
Acupuncture is a component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in which hair thin, sterile needles are placed gently into the body at specific acupuncture points. By needling these points, the nervous system is stimulated into releasing chemicals that help reduce pain and decrease inflammation.

Auricular Acupuncture: Auricular Acupuncture is Acupuncture that is administered to points on the outer ear (there are over 200 points in the outer ear. Each pointed is named after a generalized part our of anatomy: shoulder, neck, knee, back, ect.). It is a special technique that is used to create hormonal, vascular, and neurological changes within the body. Auricular Acupuncture can be used to increase mental clarity, reduce cravings, anxiety, and withdrawal symptoms associated with addiction.
