Every body responds differently to acupuncture. Some people will need more acupuncture treatments, some may need less. Every body is unique in it’s needs; what works for someone may not work for you.

We thank you for your patience as we navigate through the ever-changing needs of our community and small business. We continue to do our best to adapt and adjust our work and precautionary measures to serve you all as readily and safely as possible.
