Our emphasis is always on helping our patients achieve their best possible health. Using a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary recommendations, and lifestyle changes, we can often not only help with persistent conditions, but also improve a patient's general well being and happiness. We not only treat the current condition; we also focus on and address the underlying causes that prevent a patient from experiencing their full health and well being.
