It's the needles that everyone knows about acupuncture. And it's those needles that prevent most people from looking any further into using acupuncture. Acupuncture works by inserting these fine, metal needles into acupuncture points to manipulate the flow of "qi" or energy through the body. The acupuncture points are numbered from 1 to 41 for the large points, and 1 through 33 for the small points. These points are a major part of the course of study of licensed acupuncturists.

If the U.S. Army, Harvard Medical School and MIT are in your corner, you know you're in good company. Acupuncturists and their patients must feel pretty popular lately, because those are exactly the organizations vetting them.

The term "Chinese acupuncture" is really a misnomer.
Like in massage therapy , there are many individuals who rightly or wrongly "brand" a style or school of thought.
So, you may hear terms such as korean hand acupuncture, French Acupuncture, etc.
In truth, there is only Acupuncture, or Chinese Medicine.
Many modern acupuncturists use the term, TCM - for Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Often, TCM practitioners also learn Chinese herbology, as part of the system of Chinese Medicine.
Our clinic practices Acupuncture as a stand alone method of treatment.
Some liken the positive effects of Acupuncture to the herbs that often accompany the treatment.
Yet the results of acupuncture, both alone, and in conjunction with other treatments, has been quite positive.
We have treated everything from skeletomuscular issues, menstrual issues, cancer and palliative work, addictions , weight loss , fibromyalgia , migraines, sleep issues, anxiety, etc.
