Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which has been practiced and studied for 4000 years in China. TCM takes a holistic approach to achieve a person's well-being. The essence of the TCM theory is that disease occurs when the energy within your body is not balanced or the harmony between you and the environment is disturbed.
The panel convened by NIH noted that the World Health Organization identified more than 40 conditions for which acupuncture may be helpful. The panel found that one of the advantages of acupuncture is that the incidence of adverse effects is substantially lower than that of many drugs or other accepted medical procedures used for the same condition.

I have been seeing Joann for acupuncture for over 8 months now. She is a highly knowledgeable and skilled acupuncturist who cares and has your best interests in mind always. Her goal is not to keep you as a patient long term, it is to get you well and your body strong to hold on its own. She encourages lengthening the time between sessions and doesn't hesitate to advise when treatment is no longer needed.
I referred my house mate to her for a swollen ankle and after a handful of sessions they were complete. In my case, however, we are treating chronic and sometimes acute back pain that

Joann has been my acupuncturist for about three months now. I feel so blessed that I found her because she stands out from other acupuncturist that I have worked with in the past. Her treatments are thorough and personalized, I feel very taken care of with her. Her kind and soft-spoken demeanor is very pleasant. She takes a true interest in my physical and emotional well-being. Joanne stays in the room with you the whole time of the treatment and adjusts the needles or assist with any possible discomfort. Her office is warm and comfortable. She's been treating me for a variety of ailments

Dr. Joann is a kind and accomplished acupuncturist. She listens and is a great communicator. I am feeling much better since beginning treatment, and many of my original illnesses-conditions have healed. What I particularly like is that after looking at my tongue and checking my pulse, she makes an herbal formula to match my condition EXACTLY. This is unique and wonderful and was the kind of doctor I was looking for for a long time.
