Acupuncture has been around for approximately 3,000 years. As a fundamental element of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is time-tested and has provided successful results for countless patients.  

How It Works

During acupuncture, stainless steel, single-use needles are inserted into acupuncture points. These thin needles are safe and don’t cause pain or discomfort upon insertion. When the needles are administered into the acupuncture points, it eliminates obstructions to the body’s energetic pathways while stimulating the energy flow throughout the body. This ensures that cells and tissues throughout the body receive the nutrients that they need to function optimally. 

Migraine attacks can cause lingering, debilitating pain in the head. Patients may feel the head throbbing or pulsing, as well as light sensitivity and even nausea. 

If you experience migraines, you know that this condition can sideline you for days on end. Unfortunately, many people struggle to find an effective migraine treatment, and medications don’t always work well. But, a holistic approach to migraine treatment may help you achieve relief from migraine pain with natural, drug-free methods.

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite refers to the dimples in the skin that result when fat cells build up and push into the layer of skin beneath the surface. This creates a lumpy appearance of the skin, often compared to an orange peel or cottage cheese. Cellulite is most often found on the buttocks, thighs, hips, and lower stomach. Some patients may also have cellulite in the upper arms or breasts. 

Did you know that you should have certain exams and testing every year? Even if you are going to a traditional doctor, they will recommend annual physicals and testing. Because functional medicine looks at the body as a whole rather than as its individual symptoms or conditions, testing when first becoming a patient is vital to developing an effective treatment plan.

Here are some of the functional tests you can expect when you come to our practice.
