ABOUT US
Our Philosophy
Every person is born with a powerful, innate ability to heal.
We believe in the importance of conventional medicine, but we also understand its weakness. The same is true of Asian medicine. The weaving together of Western and Asian medicine will provide a superior health care system to the one we currently have. The fact that the US has about 5 percent of the world’s population but consumes 80 percent of the pain medication is a good indicator that there needs to be a better approach to chronic pain and illness.
Acupuncture is a powerful treatment modality that stimulates healing through activation, and nomalization of the nervous and endocrine systems. There is nothing mystical about acupuncture, it is simply a way of stimulating our body’s natural or innate healing ability.
We believe healthcare is a partnership between you and us.
We believe you deserve more and should expect more from your healthcare. Whether it’s how you are greeted when you walk into the office, the health care you receive, the respect you are given, or any other aspect of your time with us, we know you deserve the best and you should expect nothing less.
We invite you to join us and together we will work toward health and healing.
