By choosing acupuncture you are taking a great step towards achieving a more balanced and healthy lifestyle. Acupuncture assists the body's natural tendency to heal itself. It is a healing system that nourishes and promotes the life-giving energy of the body. Frequent benefits of treatment are increased energy, vitality, and enjoyment of life.

Acupuncture is a safe, effective, and drug-free therapy that addresses a wide variety of common ailments and problems. This system of medicine takes into account the marvelous complexity of each person and treats the body, mind, and spirit as a unified, holistic being. Acupuncture works preventively and curatively by supporting the body’s own natural healing abilities.

Because of its relatively low cost, noninvasive nature, and efficacy, acupuncture is a popular form of complementary care. In this gentle form of medicine, each treatment is designed uniquely to address issues experienced specifically by individuals. Symptoms are viewed in relationship to the total person in order to explore and treat the underlying cause of an issue, imbalance, or illness.
A recent survey conducted by Claire Cassidy, PhD, of people who receive regular acupuncture found that clients see their physicians less frequently and use fewer medications. And, over two-thirds of those in the survey reported they were able to avoid surgery that had been previously recommended for their ailments.
In other reports, clients committed to lifestyles focused on wellness who receive ongoing acupuncture treatment for maintenance and health promotion often experience some or all of the following:

 
• They are sick less often and recover more quickly from illness they do contract  
 
• Their vitality and stamina improve  
     
• They are able to take care of their health more effectively  
     
• They experience more harmonious relationships with others  
     
• They reduce health care costs over the long term
