BENEFITS OF ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture Boosts the Immune System
The key to good health is your immune system. Improving your immune system with acupuncture does more than just keep you from catching the common cold. Recent medical studies show a strong relationship between the immune system and the nervous, endocrine, and digestive systems. The newest research even emphasizes how this natural defense system helps prevent cancer!
When you are under constant stress from work, personal, emotional and environmental factors, your natural defenses are weakened. This leaves you open to anything from catching a cold, not recovering from an injury or illness, or developing an autoimmune disease.
We consistently work on supporting and improving your immune system through Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and nutritional supplements. If interested, there is also the opportunity to learn Qigong as a practice for energy cultivation and immune support.

help prevent or reverse disease
Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, obesity, high blood pressure– these are just a few of the conditions that can be prevented and sometimes reversed. At The Acupuncture Office we can help by recommending lifestyle changes specific for you and by supporting the energy and nutrition your body needs.
Acupuncture is a great way to keep children and young adults healthy and vibrant and give them a good start in life.
We typically do Non-needle treatments for younger patients, and for anyone who does not like the needles. (Natural Healing with Acupuncture or Non-Needle Therapy).

GUides you to Good Health
We assess the four most important elements of your health:
At The Acupuncture Office we recognize these functions as key indications of your underlying health condition. If you have an acute or chronic issue, or anything more than a temporary complaint (indicates a health risk), in any of these areas, we address it with treatments, and lead you back to good health. We all age, but maintenance or improvement in these areas will keep you healthier longer.
- proper sleep (restores and regenerates)
- digestion (transforms food into energy)
- elimination (clears toxins)
- movement (proper circulation)

Acupuncture Provides Deep Healing & Symptomatic Relief
At The Acupuncture Office we address your main complaints, but also target the key reason WHY you have these complaints. Unless your problem is from a recent injury, it is due to an underlying imbalance or deficiency in your body's energy. Chronic conditions take years to develop, so it may take a while to reverse. We want you to feel better fast, but we also want to improve your health so you can feel better longer.
In some cases, your main complaint may not be relieved until a deeper healing occurs. But once the healing begins, your main problem, as well as other complaints, will resolve.
Cost Effectiveness– One Treatment, Multiple Benefits
As we treat your main complaint, other problems can resolve. Treating various conditions with the same treatment saves you time and money.

Cancer Treatment-Support
In 2005, both of us became certified in 'Acupuncture for the Cancer Patient' through Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. We do not treat cancer itself, but rather provide support for the general health of the patient so they are better equipped for the rigors of treatment while experiencing fewer side effects. We do supportive treatment for patients before, during and after surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
Treatments can provide the following positive effects:

Prevention and your Health
Let us first ask you: Do you perform preventive maintenance on your car such as changing the oil, oil filter, and air filter? Do you have your brakes inspected and replace parts if they are worn? Do you do these tasks from when you first own the car, or only start to do them after the car has 50,000 miles on it? If you hear a funny noise coming from the engine, do you or your mechanic try to find the cause, or do you just turn your radio louder? Why do states require an annual safety inspection of your car? Hopefully, you perform these routine maintenance tasks on a regular basis so that you can be safe, keep your car from breaking down on the side of the road, and preserve your investment.
Guess what? Your health is no different, except for the fact that you only get one body to last your lifetime. When some things stop working properly, it will probably cost you more than a car repair in terms of time, health and convenience.
Getting an annual physical from your physician is a good place to start. But it is akin to your car’s annual safety inspection. It is a snapshot of your health that might detect specific problems before catastrophe strikes, but it does not examine how well you have maintained your vehicle over time. That is up to you and your mechanic.
Many health experts known for inspiring people to become healthier have emphasized the idea that
"You need to start doing something today to ensure good health in the future."
Don't neglect your health: Unless the condition is the result of an injury or other acute situation, health problems develop over time. This can be as short as a few weeks or many years in the making. Minor health complaints can develop into chronic serious conditions if you tolerate or ignore the warning signs. If you mask or suppress them with medications (i.e. turn the radio louder), this can sometimes cause other side effects or allow the minor complaint to develop into a major health problem. At The Acupuncture Office we seek out, and fix, the underlying health problem and help your body function properly again, thereby relieving the complaints. Of course, the longer you've had the problem, the more time and work it takes to resolve it. Once you feel close to 100%, we recommend that you come in for maintenance and an assessment every few months so minor complaints don’t develop into major health problems.
