This can provide not only internal health benefits, but can actually make you look younger on the outside as well.
Among the many prescriptive treatments we offer are:

The stomach, gallbladder, spleen, and intestine connect with the brain through the blood vessels, nerve systems, and energetic channels known as meridians. Acupuncture can unblock those meridians.
Sleep
Acupuncture can be effective for treating sleep disorders such as insomnia. It can help patients to fall asleep sooner, stay asleep with fewer episodes of waking up, and also reduce the anxiety a person feels when they have difficulty falling asleep.

Acupuncture provides relief for migraines and other headaches by releasing endorphins and other hormones, stimulating the circulatory system. This brings the patient relief from headache pain.
