Acupuncture

Acupuncture at Total Health

Acupuncture, often considered an “alternative” practice, is a well-established form of traditional Chinese medicine known for its ability to alleviate pain and enhance overall health and wellness. During an acupuncture session, small, sterile needles are gently applied to specific points on the body to regulate the flow of the body’s energy, or qi.

Acupuncture is a popular choice for individuals seeking to improve their health without relying on surgery or prescription drugs. This practice has been beneficial for our clients in various areas including anxiety, circulation, mood issues, fertility, fibromyalgia, food addiction, neck and back pain, weight control, gastrointestinal issues, PTSD, headaches, migraines, insomnia, PMS, and psycho-emotional disorders.

Our acupuncturists understand that therapy should be personally tailored to the needs of each individual client. To learn more about acupuncture, or to determine whether acupuncture is right for you, please contact us to make an appointment.
