Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been used for many thousands of years to effectively treat the underlying basis of many disorders.
The acupuncturist considers the whole body including the patients symptoms, the tongue and the pulse to develop a complete picture before making a specific diagnosis and prescribing a treatment. Acupuncture offers a truly holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment of conditions.
