Acupuncture
& Chinese Herbal Medicine
How Acupuncture
and Chinese Herbal Medicine Complement Chiropractic Care
At its most basic level, disease and pain occur when the body is
in a state of imbalance or disharmony. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs
support the body's recovery processes by improving circulation,
removing blockages, and helping the body return to its healthy,
balanced state. Once the body reaches a state of balance, it begins
to heal itself.

What is Acupuncture?
Developed over 3000 years ago, acupuncture is the insertion of hair-thin
needles into specific points on the body. The needles work by stimulating
and unblocking energy and by helping the body return to a balanced
and healthy state.
