What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an effective form of medial treatment that has evolved into a complete holistic health care system. Practitioners of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have used this non-invasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well.

Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, as well as improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless, and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical conditions.

Benefits of Acupuncture

There are many articles available for further research into the effectiveness of acupuncture online and elsewhere. The best way to determine whether acupuncture is a good match for your condition, is consultation with a certified acupuncturist.

Several years ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) published an official report listing 31 symptoms, conditions and diseases that have been shown – in controlled trials – to be treated effectively by Acupuncture. Some of these conditions include: neck, knee & low back pain, sciatica, headaches, hay fever, arthritis, depression, and more.

Patient Testimonials

I struggle with chronic migraines, and have been working with Savanna over the last couple of months to treat and decipher the mechanisms of my headaches. I have gone from week long migraine episodes, to 1 or 2 days at a time. My use of medications is decreasing as my overall sense of well being increases. I am now spending more time outside of a brain fog. Last night, I landed on her table in full migraine, and for the first time ever I experienced a migraine completely stop within minutes. I never imagined that would be possible without drugs. Savanna is wonderful to work with, and has really invested time and focus into my health struggle. For the first time I am realizing that there is a modality that can shift things for me, and break the cycle of suffering. I am looking forward to continuing to work with her, and to changing my patterns of pain into a new and healthier place. Acupuncture is amazing!! Thank you so much Savanna.

Treatments & Services

In Chinese Medicine, an underlying principle is that illness and pain occur when the body’s qi, or vital energy, cannot flow freely. There can be many reasons for this; emotional and physical stress, poor nutrition, infection or injury are among the most common. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the focus of healing is on the individual, not their illness, and all the symptoms are seen in relation to each other.

Initial Consultation

The first visit is an initial consultation to discuss your health concerns and determine if this is the best avenue for you. This will also include an acupuncture treatment should you make the choice to start treatments.

Follow Up Treatment

This is a follow up appointment or ongoing acupuncture treatment for those that have completed their initial consultation.

Individualized Treatment Plans

Each patient is unique; two people with the same western diagnosis may receive different acupuncture treatments. Your initial consultation will consist of a full review of your health history and an assessment of your current condition. This information will be used to develop a full treatment plan that is suited to your individual needs.
