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. A recent paper published in a peer-reviewed journal conducted by Harvard Med School and MIT should silence many of acupuncture's doubters: acupuncture was demonstrated to have an effect greater than placebo. So the positive medical benefits experienced by patients can't be dismissed as "in their heads" any more or the products of chance. Even the U.S. Army believes. They've recently allowed "battlefield" acupuncture to be performed for soldiers suffering from chronic and acute pain.

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.
