Try Acupuncture For Effective Relief From Pain, And Several Physical, Mental, And Internal Health Issues

Pain And Chronic Health Issues Can Be Exhausting!

Daily stresses, poor diet, inconsistent exercise, trauma, accidents, and age can weaken your immune system leaving you prone to aches and pains. Acupuncture improves circulation and removes blockages to the areas experiencing discomfort or dysfunction.

Very basically, acupuncture is a holistic medicine that considers the body imbalances that lead to dysfunction. We bring balance to the flow of circulation, consisting of energy, blood and body fluids. Once balance is restored – healing can take place.

Healthy, Happy Man and Woman
No Pain. No Drugs. No Medications.

No Pain. No Drugs.

Acupuncture is a pain-free alternative to drugs and can potentially get you off of your prescriptions. It is especially useful for managing or eliminating stress and anxiety. 

Using stainless steel needles or microcurrent technology [>>link to microcurrent page], Doreen stimulates meridian points on your body that can normalize the flow of energy and bring back balance to your body. This will promote healing so you can regain proper function. 

Depending on your condition, Doreen may also include other modalities like cupping or massage [>>link to Additional Modalities page] to further promote your healing and comfort.
