Wellspring Physician Acupuncture is a Family Practice based Classical Chinese Medical practice that offers care to children and adults.

Classical Chinese medicine considers multiple aspects of a person when identifying root causes of an illness or promoting health. In addition to providing treatment, our practice strives to provide extensive education on the principles and theory of Chinese medicine. Considerable time will be spent discussing the approach of the treatment as well as the Chinese thinking behind healthful living, disease prevention, self-care, exercise and dietary practice. We encourage our patients to read and educate themselves about Chinese medicine and to feel free to ask as many questions as they may have about their care.

Our services include acupuncture, Chinese herbal remedies, Chinese dietary education and simplified Qi Gong instruction.
