Acupuncture Therapy

Ancient Chinese Acupuncture Therapy is more than 2,000 years old. In the beginning, sharpened stones or bones were initially used to stimulate acupuncture points for a wide range of diseases varying from the common cold to epidemics. Recently a mummified iceman (older than the pyramids and Stonehenge) was found in the Alps with what appear to be therapeutic tattoos at acupuncture points, his name is Ötzi.

Acupuncture treatments today are customized to meet the needs of the patient. For optimal results 1-2 treatments a week for the first month are suggested, followed by a reassessment.
