Acupuncture is an effective, non-invasive way to manage chronic pain and overuse injuries. Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body to activate its natural healing process and improve overall function. It's particularly helpful for conditions like back, knee or shoulder pain. It’s usually an excellent option for those who prefer non-medication treatments. Acupuncture can also support patients who are working with their physician to reduce or eliminate reliance on pain medications.

Acupuncture is recognized as an effective treatment for a range of conditions, including: 

• Abdominal pain

• Allergic rhinitis

• Anxiety 

• Bell's palsy

• Chronic gastritis

• Diabetes

• Earache or headache

• Facial pain or spasm

• High blood pressure

Acupuncture can benefit most people. Many use it to relax and manage stress, while others turn to it for longstanding or acute conditions. Often, people know someone who has had acupuncture and can share their experience.

The number of treatments and frequency vary depending on factors like your health, the severity of your condition and your Qi. Some feel relief immediately, while others need a longer treatment plan, with at least one month needed to see significant changes.

Each person's medical history is unique, so we offer personalized solutions tailored to individual needs, considering factors like lifestyle, age and activity level.

Our clinic provides a range of mental health services focused on helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and improve emotional well-being. Our licensed professional counselor specializes in evidence-based therapies, including cognitive and behavioral techniques, designed to provide simple, concrete steps that lead to lasting change. These types of therapies are used to treat  conditions such as anxiety and depression. 

Please note: While we offer therapeutic counseling services, we do not provide psychiatry care and are unable to prescribe or manage medications. If you require medication management, we can help connect you with appropriate resources.

Insurance coverage for counseling sessions can depend on several factors, including the counselor’s credentials, your plan’s limitations and exclusions, and whether your insurance covers the specific type of counseling you need. Before your appointment, please contact your insurance provider to confirm whether your visit will be covered.

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a treatment method that seeks to correct hormone deficiencies using molecules (hormones) that are identical to the hormones found in the human body. The majority of individuals using this treatment are postmenopausal women, but it is sometimes useful for premenopausal women and men as well.

Insurance coverage varies widely. To determine if your plan covers the medication, take your insurance card to the compounding pharmacy for clarification.
