Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a complete system of medicine that is customized for each patient. It considers the whole person – mind, body and spirit, as well as lifestyle and environmental factors.

It is an effective system of diagnosis and treatment therapies that can also be used with other standard medical therapies.
