Stress Management & Wellness, Women's Health, Facial Rejuvenation, Gastrointestinal Health, and Pain Management
Pain Management
Pain relief and management for headaches, neck/shoulder pain, back pain, joint pain, and nerve pain. For conditions like migraines, arthritis, osteoarthritis, tendinitis, carpal tunnel, gout, menstrual cramps, and fibromyalgia. Acupuncture relieves pain by releasing endorphins, the body's natural pain-killing chemicals, and by balancing the body's natural energy (qi) to address blockages and imbalances that cause pain.
Women's Health
1) Menstrual Issues: irregular periods, cramps, headaches, emotional imbalances, digestive disturbances; 2) Menopause and peri-menopause: hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, insomnia; 3) Endometriosis: heavy periods, abdominal and back pain, severe cramps; 4) Infertility; and 5) Pregnancy and postpartum support. Acupuncture restores the proper flow of blood and energy (qi) and regulates hormones for healthy periods and reproductive function.
Facial Rejuvenation
Minimize fine lines, under eye darkness, eye and facial puffiness, sagging around the eyes, jaw and neck, and facial redness and acne. Acupuncture facial rejuvenation restores circulation and promotes collagen to enhance facial muscles and skin tone. It addresses the root causes of aging and promotes overall health and wellness.
Gastrointestinal Issues
Abdominal bloating, cramping, and pain, gas, constipation, diarrhea, hiccups, vomiting, and nausea. Treats conditions like Irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory conditions, hemorrhoids, and acid reflex. Acupuncture reduces inflammation and restores gastrointestinal function by balancing the energy (qi) and blood of the related organs.
Stress Management and Wellness
Manage stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, emotional imbalances, TMJ, teeth grinding, digestive issues, headaches, shoulder tension, and unexplained pain. Strong emotions interrupt the body's smooth flow of energy (qi) and over long periods of time create energetic blockages that result in imbalances. Acupuncture restores the body's energetic flow and promotes mental and physical wellness.
