Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art that has applications for many kinds of conditions affecting modern people.

• pain
• mild to moderate mood disorders including depression, anxiety, stress, irritability, and PMS
• women’s health
• men’s health
• health concerns of children and adolescents
• digestive complaints
• fatigue
• insomnia
• allergies and sinus complaints
• many more

Acupuncture can treat many things that are not on this list. It is a low cost treatment with almost no side effects. Acupuncture is always worth a try, no matter what your symptoms are. Acupuncture amazes me daily with its ability to treat symptoms simply and quickly.

Peninsula Family Acupuncture, in the North Portland / St. Johns area, offers both private and group treatments. A private treatment is one hour, and can be shiatsu or acupuncture. Acupuncture treatments typically incorporate non-needling techniques such as physical therapy, bodywork, and moxibustion*. Group treatments are also one hour, but patients are seated in chairs in a group in street clothes, and only acupuncture is available. This enables me to treat multiple patients at once, providing a lower-cost option.

* Moxibustion is an adjunct therapy to acupuncture in which mugwort in various forms is ignited and used to warm acupoints.
