Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

​

Acupuncture targets areas of the body which have been blocked over time. By “blocked”, we mean the blockage of blood-flow, energy, and qi. When these three substances are not allowed to naturally flow throughout your body, ailments start to develop. The side-effects of these blocked flows can cause a host of problems to occur and before you know it, you’ll be feeling sick and lethargic while no standard pharmaceuticals are able to solve the problems at hand due to just masking the problems and not solving the root cause of the issue. This is why it’s so important to take control of your life through natural healing, and acupuncture is a great way to start!

​

Here at Body and Soul Acupuncture and Massage Therapy, we treat sports injuries, pain relief, immune system repair, stress, anxiety, digestive disorders, allergies and many other ailments. Treatments are tailored to the individual and we can work hand in hand with western medicine.

We also combine modalities such as cupping, gua sha and medical massage to complete our treatments.
