WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

 

Acupuncture diagnosis and treatment provides a private space for healing.  Acupuncture is a modality in the system of Chinese Medicine that incorporates the insertion of extremely thin, sterile needles into specific points along the body that are carefully chosen in order to create the most benefit for the patient.  Treatment addresses the root cause of symptoms instead of simply masking symptoms when they appear. Often, our bodies are trying to teach us something through our symptoms, and treatment allows us to wake up to our body's messages.  The most common side effect of acupuncture is relaxation.  

 

Acupuncture is for all ages and for nearly all conditions, physical, mental, and emotional.  If you are curious or hesitant to schedule, Kate is open to any questions about what acupuncture treatment can do for you.
