You do. Seriously! East Asian Medicine is the yin to the yang of Western medicine. EAM excels at preventative health and chronic illness, offering solutions that conventional medicine does not. Combining the best uses of Western and Eastern medicines and techniques truly achieves holistic wellness for your family. You deserve the best of both worlds!

East Asian Medicine, whether dealing with acupuncture, herbal formulas or both, is no more faith-based than Western medicine. Believing in the treatments can’t hurt, but it isn’t necessary for positive results. The biggest factor in success or failure depends on how motivated our clients are to keeping their appointments and taking the prescribed herbal formulas.

Absolutely! Acupuncturists are required to follow OSHA standards and only sterile, single-use disposable needles are used. Patients are absolutely assured that there is no transmission of communicable disease from patient to patient.

The frequency of treatments varies with each individual and the extent of their health issue. Most new patients begin treatment with sessions 2-3 time a week to get results more quickly. Acupuncture has a cumulative effect, each treatment building upon the last. Typically, a series of treatments produces lasting transformation. As patients experience improvement in their condition, treatments may be extended once a week to every other week, every three weeks, monthly and eventually seasonally.

Acupuncture promotes the body’s natural ability to heal itself, so most conditions can be corrected or improved. East Asian Medicine is a comprehensive system of preventative care and health maintenance with its effectiveness being well documented throughout its long history.

Chinese Medicine has proven to be exceptionally effective in treating: (list provided by the World Health Organization)

People are relieved to learn that acupuncture needles are extremely thin and completely unlike the needles they have experienced in the past. We use gentle techniques to place these tiny needles, and often the insertion is barely perceptible.

Once the needle is inserted, there may be a mild sensation of heaviness, achiness or tingling in the area of insertion. This is normal and even beneficial in many conditions. However, it is very rare that a patient describes this sensation as painful.

No. In fact, many find it much easier, safer and cost effective to maintain health than it is to recover it once it’s lost. Because of it’s ability to strengthen and nourish proper functioning in the body, EAM can be an important addition to any health program. Many acupuncture patients come in for monthly stress relief treatments and “tune-ups” for their immune system as part of their health maintenance routine. Preventive medicine is the best medicine.
