Based on the idea that your body has a circulating energy force, your health is based on how energy (qi) circulates throughout your body. Illness, pain, and imbalances occur when this flow is blocked or damaged. Acupuncture is extremely effective at restoring the flow of qi throughout the body and bringing the body back into a balanced, functional state.
Growing increasingly popular in the United States, Acupuncture is recognized by the World Health Organization for treatment of over two dozen conditions, including but not limited to: allergies, chronic pain issues, adverse reactions to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, headache, digestive disorders, and depression.
Mary practices Japanese Meridian Acupuncture, a gentle style that is focused on palpation and discovery of reactive points, and Dr. Tan's Balance Method, which is extremely effective for pain relief.
