Fertility Issues
Acupuncture treats infertility in both men and women by targeting specific points that aid reproductive organ functions and restoring the body’s natural ability to reproduce without side effects.
Pain & Arthritis
Pain and other symptoms occur when your body lets you know that something is not right and you'd better do something about it before it gets worse. Let us help you find relief from pain.
Fibromyalgia
We’ve treated fibromyalgia successfully since 2002. We led a study in 2012-2013 that demonstrated acupuncture’s effectiveness in relieving physical symptoms and emotional stress among fibromyalgia patients.
Thyroid Disorders
In treatment for thyroid issues, acupuncture can help restore hormonal balance, regulate energy levels, smooth emotions and help manage sleep and menstrual problems.
