Acupuncture

Acupuncture helps restore a state of balance to in the body. Overexertion, trauma, overindulgence, pathogens, etc. all cause disturbance in the “normal”  functioning of the body. When there are not enough resources to process an insult to the body, stressors can lodge in a physical location, meridian pathway, or organ system. Gentle stimulation of acupuncture points helps move what is stuck, nourish what is deficient, reduce what is excess, and bring more overall health and balance to the body.
