We Offer Acupuncture and Canine Rehabilitation. 

---

Acupuncture is a therapy in which thin, filiform needles are inserted into specific points on the body to relieve pain and treat other neurologic conditions.  Acupuncture needles stimulate the nervous system, which is the control center of the entire body.  Through these minute stimuli, chronic and acute pain, neurologic damage, and other disease processes in the body can be corrected and encouraged to return to normal.

Some conditions that are recommended for Acupuncture are:  

• Respiratory Disorders (sinusitis, rhinitis, common cold)
• Bronchopulmonary Disease (bronchitis, asthma)
• Eye Disorders (conjunctivitis, cataracts, myopia, retinitis)
• Oral Disorders (toothache, pain after extraction, gingivitis)
• Orthopedic Disorders (arthritis, back pain, muscular injuries)
• Gastrointestinal Disorders (spasms of the esophagus, gastroenteritis, gastritis, gastric hyperacidity, ulcers, colitis, bacterial dysentery, constipation, diarrhea, ileus)
• Neurologic Disorders (headache, migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, gacial paralysis, paralysis, peripheral neuropathy, neurogenic bladder dysfunction)
• Painful Conditions
