China and other Asian countries have practiced acupuncture for thousands of years. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the human body is balanced by two conflicting forces called yin and yang. In an imbalanced state, yin the dark, cold, and negative force, and yang the light, warm, and positive force blocks vital energy (qi or chi) from passing through meridians (passageways) in the body and is the cause of disease.
Your lifestyle and eating habits leave a large footprint on your health. Homeopathy is a safe alternative for treating both acute and chronic conditions with minimal side effects. With homeopathy, you can restore your health and feel better. If a homeopathic treatment is right for you, you will feel relief without the use of conventional medicines that can have problematic side-effects.
Lab testing can let us help you to achieve optimum health! Just getting into better shape next year is not enough to limit your risk of health problems. Did you know that even if you have a healthy diet and take a multi-vitamin that does not mean your body is actually absorbing what you need?. Did you know that as we age, our ability to absorb certain nutrients declines?

Dr Michelle Perkins and her staff (Sam) are wonderful and caring people and really do a great job with my back pain. Dr Perkins does a complete job to help get rid of my chronic back pain. I had tried using the Veterans Administration and she is hands down much better and does a thorough job on my back to get rid of all my back pain. I highly recommend Dr Perkins!!:)

If you have tried everything to stop smoking/vaping and really feel it is time to QUIT, Dr. Perkins was it for me. 49 years, a pack of menthol a day. I tried Chantix, patches, hypnosis and vaping to cut down/stop. When breathing became noticeably harder it was time to try something different. Acupuncture and Dr. Perkins whole process made it incredibly easy to quit. This was 5 months ago. I didn't want to believe it but I still have no desire. Dr. Perkins will be there with you for how ever long it takes you. Make this your FIRST choice. Very little weight gain snd if that gets worse I'll go right

I have been with Dr. Perkins since few years ago. The practitioner I was going to before, retired and I needed to find a new one. I was skeptical at first with Dr. Perkins until the first consultation, tests and test results reading. She was very thorough and patient with my many questions. She let me borrow few books of hers to help me gain more knowledge and information about the topics I was interested about. Couple of friends that I referred to her were very satisfied as well. I love the office's relaxing atmosphere as well as Dr.Perkins demeanor.
