"Thank God for acupuncture. It's been around for 2000 years. It's not going anyplace and people use it all of the time for a variety of cures and to avoid illnesses."
Tim Daly
Acupuncture’s wide-ranging effects make it a useful and virtually side-effect-free option for maintaining health and treating illness. Though the exact mechanisms of how acupuncture works remain a mystery, its effectiveness has been thoroughly documented through its more than 2,000-year history.
Acupuncture is a gentle yet effective therapy that helps restore and balance the flow of energy and information in your body. It involves gently puncturing specific points on your skin with solid, hair-thin needles. These points, called acupoints, act via a system of channels or meridians to circulate qi to your cells, tissues, organs, and systems and their stimulation by acupuncture has been shown to produce physiological changes, including muscle relaxation, immune regulation, and changes in biochemistry and gene expression.
Our clinic specializes in the use of KMS-style acupuncture, a very gentle form of acupuncture that blends several different styles as practiced by Japanese masters. In addition to KMS-style acupuncture, we also practice Chinese acupuncture and other systems of acupuncture including scalp, ear, and abdominal acupuncture. Treatments are based on findings from your assessment and are as unique as you are. If you are afraid of needles or the thought of needles stresses you out, needle-free options are available.
Needle-free options
In cases of fear or trauma related to needles, we offer needle-free options. These alternatives work with the same meridian system and points as acupuncture. One or more of these options can also used in combination with your acupuncture treatments.
At Synthera, we may also incorporate any of the following treatment modalities into your acupuncture treatment or overall treatment plan depending on your symptoms and/or health situation:
Acupuncture can resolve disturbances in energy flow to ensure continued good physical and mental health. It can also aid in resolving a health condition or symptom. It is an effective, drug-free option for treating and managing a wide variety of acute and chronic health conditions. We look forward to welcoming you into our practice and becoming a trusted partner on your journey back to wellness.
