Chiropractic is well established in the United States, Canada, and Australia. It overlaps with other manual-therapy professions such as osteopathy and physical therapy.

What is acupuncture? How does it work?
Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most commonly used medical procedures in the world. It originated in China over 2,500 years ago as part of Chinese Medicine. According to Chinese Medicine, the bodys energy or Qi (pronounced chee) flows through the bodys energy pathways or meridians. A person is healthy when his/her Qi flows smoothly through the meridians and when there is balanced Yin and Yang. Acupuncture uses more than 2,000 acupuncture points along the meridians to balance Yin and Yang, stimulate the bodys own healing properties, and smooth the flow of Qi through the meridians.
Will Acupuncture cause pain?
Acupuncture needles are very thin, flexible, sterile, and only for a single use. They are not firm, thick, or hollow-like hypodermic needles. With skillful needle insertion there is often no sensation at all. The needle is inserted only a few millimeters under the skin with the help of a guiding tube.

What happens during a treatment?
When you come into the clinic for the first time, you will be asked to complete paperwork. The provider will get a History and physical exam in a private treatment room. Some aricles of clothing may need to be removed to expose specific acupuncture points. You can expect to experience a deep, comfortable, healing relaxation as a positive side-effect of the treatment. Many patients even fall asleep. After about twenty minutes, the needles will be removed. Depending on your condition, Tuina massage may be provided along with Chiropractor treatment. At the end of the treatment we can address any additional questions you might have.
Does Acupuncture have side effects? How safe is it?
Acupuncture has virtually no negative side-effects. Make sure any acupuncturist you see only uses single use needles and follow all acupuncture regulations. You can expect the positive side-effect of a deep, healing relaxation during and after the treatment. Many patients are amazed how rested they feel afterwards.
