If you're recovering from or struggling with a health problem, it's almost always because your body's natural self-healing mechanisms haven't yet done their job. Sometimes just a little help is needed. Most people seek out Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine after being disappointed with the results of medications and other treatments. Even the strongest modern drugs usually can only mask symptoms, not cause healing.
True healing is only possible when your body heals itself. That's what makes Acupuncture and Chinese herbs so powerful. They work by assisting your body's self-healing mechanisms and correcting biochemical imbalances. As an acupuncturist, I've been privileged to see many, many cases of healing, even after nothing else worked. Please review the conditions treated page to see if acupuncture and Oriental medicine may be appropriate for you.

We use acupuncture and other forms of Oriental medicine, including Chinese herbs and moxibustion (a localized heat treatment).
The first visit (with diagnosis) can last from an hour and a half to two hours, and includes an acupuncture treatment.
Your subsequent visits will be faster - usually 60-90 minutes long.
We'll make a short review of your progress followed by an acupuncture treatment.
If it's warranted, we also prescribe an herbal formula.
Herbs are nearly always prescribed in a balanced formula, where different herbs have supporting effects.

Report
Most people barely feel a thing when needles are inserted.
Some people feel a slight pinch, and others ask "Is it in yet?"
The reason acupuncture needles don't give the painful sensation you might expect is because they're very, very thin in comparison to the hypodermic needles used to give injections.
Hypodermic needles are necessarily hollow so that the shot can be injected.
They also have a very blunt point (actually a wedge shape) in comparison to an acupuncture needle.
Forty acupuncture needles can fit into the tip of one standard 18 gauge hypodermic needle.
