Areas of Focus

Acupuncture works by activating the body's own healing abilities. In addition to being a powerful support for maintaining health and preventing disease, it is effective in treating many health conditions. The World Health Organization has documented many symptoms, diseases, and conditions that have been shown in controlled clinical trials to be effectively treated with acupuncture. Below is a list of some of the common conditions I see in my practice.  Please get in touch if you have questions about how acupuncture can address your specific concern and support your wellbeing.
