Acupuncture by Acupuncturists
As state licensed medical specialists, we have been dedicated to the medical practice of acupuncture since 2007. We have seen the traditional medicine of acupuncture help thousands of people in more ways than they expected while practicing a medicine that taking into consideration both physical and energetic anatomy and physiology when guiding treatmen plans. This widens the acupuncture point set to include more distal, supportive points when treating the knee for pain.
A holistic approach not only considers the pain, but also where to guide that "pain-energy" when its' broken up and released from the local site. Our mind-body approach returns excess, stagnant energy back into specific physical or emotional systems which are additionally chronically weak. So now, that same knee pain comes with the added benefits of better sleep and improved gastrointestinal ease.
We suggest coming in monthly for tune-ups and weekly during season changes so flare-ups are lessened, pain is managed and energy isn't drained This is akin to keeping your automobile full of gas with regularly changed oil to prevent your engine from overheating and stopping all together when you may need it most.
Investing in your health earlier positively supports your long-term health later. It can also save money in the long run and is why our office offers different prices and flexible payments for patients. Acupuncture has proven over thousands of years to be one of the safest, most reliable and affordable ways to maintain the health and vitality you deserve.

Far Infrared Rooms
Far Infrared Rooms
All needles are one-time use only. All cupping equipment is sanitized after each patient. Each guasha tool is only ever used once. We wear latex-free gloves for insertion and removal of all needles and immediately dispose of all needles in biohazard containers. We sanitize treatment tables between each patient and give patients their own mylar blanket if they feel cold.

Each treatment room has far infrared lamps and table warmers. The 30+ pounds of amethyst on the table and the crushed crystal plate on the lamp, both have heating elements behind them. When the heat passes through the crystals, it changes regular infrared heat into far infrared heat which penetrates into the cellular level of the muscle.
