Benefits of Acupuncture for Adults and Children
Acupuncture is the insertion of small, hair-sized needles into acupuncture points to correct imbalances in the flow of “qi” or life energy. Qi circulates through what acupuncturists call “channels or meridians” – these meridians communicate between the brain and the body’s skeletal structures and organs. Factors such as stress, trauma, inflammation and unhealthy lifestyle impede and upset this communication. For children, needles are not always used and there are a number of other modalities that are non-invasive and gentle. See Pediatric Acupuncture for more details.
Seeking relief from chronic pain?
The acupuncture points where the needles are inserted are small areas of increased electrical sensitivity. By stimulating these points, multiple biological responses occur throughout the body, allowing the body to regain the natural ability to heal itself and return to homeostasis.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture uses points on the body and the face to stimulate circulation and blood flow to enhance the appearance of the face and decrease fine lines and wrinkles. Our unique approach, that will not be found anywhere else, is that we combine our facial treatments with a 30 minute Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy treatment to oxygenate the body, hydrate the body and enhance the lasting effects. Treatments include a detailed intake, understanding the present state of the body, stress and health. Then using both Ayurvedic and Chinese principles, a treatment strategy is designed to achieve beauty and wellness inside and out. Clients are taught Qi Gong principles of breathing and exercises to help maintain their health and taught a number of self-care techniques that will help with achieving this healthy glow. Homeopathic, Chinese Herbs and Nutraceutical supplements are suggested for ongoing wellness. Options to do facial acupuncture without hyperbaric oxygen are available.
