Community Acupuncture providing quality and affordable acupuncture treatment

What We Do:

Personalized Life-Style Medicine - everyone gets a personalized treatment for their conditions. Acupuncture treatments are created-designed according to the diagnosis. For example: two patients with migraines may receive different treatments and herbs because the root cause may be different.

Holistic Health Care - we treat the whole person including their symptoms. We offer a complete Holistic health care system that is effective and natural.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) includes - Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Nutritional Guidance/Therapy, Lifestyle Coaching, Meditation, and Qi Gung. All these therapies bring the body into balance to heal itself.

Acupuncture awakens your healing energy to heal your body, mind, and spirit. When using the herbs in conjunction with Acupuncture, the effectiveness of both increases.

Wisdom Ways Acupuncture is dedicated to assisting women in attaining high levels of Well-being through the use of gentle Acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and Nutrition. With over 20 years clinical experience in both Western and Eastern clinics, Inger Giffin, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac. has helped dramatically improve the lives of thousands of patients. She has trained in both the US and China, where she studied at one of the top medical schools in the country. Her primary Chinese Medical education was obtained in California, which has the most rigorous testing and educational requirements in the U.S.

The methods used at my practice are aimed toward giving the body synergism—not just treating symptoms temporarily or numbing pain with numerous medications. I strive to help the body heal itself from within, by treating the root and not just the branch of a problem. I use a wide variety of modalities that best serve the individual needs of the patient: acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, herbal formulas, Tui Na (Asian Bodywork), and Kinesiotaping. These methods can be integrated with Western approaches as well. Your treatment will be a partnership: discussed, understood, and agreed upon. While a particular procedure may be indicated for specific purposes, I believe the path to health is best navigated complemented by knowledge and awareness of a patient’s needs and goals.
I am a diplomate of the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. I received my Master’s degree from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine, one of the most respected acupuncture schools in the United States. My coursework involved 3,000 hours of study in acupuncture, Chinese herbs and herbal formulas, as well as Western medical training, including over 900 hours of supervised clinical training.
