Acupuncture works by correcting imbalances in the body.  Health problems develop because the nature state of balance in the body is disrupted.  Once the imbalance is corrected, the body can work to heal itself.   This is like hitting a reset switch allowing the body to be healthy again.

Acupuncture has a saying, “Where there is no movement, there is pain.  Where is movement, there is no pain.” Pain is cause by a lack or circulation the energy, or qi.  Acupuncture helps to correct this imbalance by stimulating the movement  of qi, specifcally in the areas around the sinuses and head.

A central idea of acupuncture focuses on correcting issues with the circulation within the body.  The body is connected through a network of channels that connect the body and protect you from illness.  Normally, qi circulates through these channels nourishing and protecting the body.  If there is too little qi or the qi does not flow properly illness can develop.

Feedback From our clients…

I first came to Joe for relief from debilitating sinus headaches. Sinus problems run in my family, and I’d suffered from sinus headaches for years, but I had immediate results with acupuncture. Even after the first visit, I noticed a drastic change. After just a month of treatment, my sinus headaches were completely gone— in fact, I haven’t taken a single sinus pill since I started acupuncture. In addition to wiping out the headaches, acupuncture has increased my energy level and has helped me deal with stress and anxiety. I really look forward to my acupuncture appointments with Joe. I come out feeling relaxed and refreshed, as if the stress of the week has just completely melted away.
