What Is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an effective form of medical treatment that has evolved into a complete holistic health care system. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive 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, and improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.

Chiropractor

Gonstead Chiropractic is a specialized, highly detailed chiropractic method founded by Dr. Clarence Gonstead, designed to identify and correct spinal misalignments with exceptional precision. Unlike general chiropractic approaches, which may use broader full-spine techniques or rely more on generalized adjustments, the Gonstead system uses a comprehensive, multi-step analysis that includes visual assessment, palpation, motion testing, X-rays, and nerve-scoping technology to pinpoint the exact vertebrae causing dysfunction.

Cupping

Cupping is a traditional therapeutic technique used in many healing systems, most prominently in Traditional Chinese Medicine, in which suction is created inside glass, silicone, or bamboo cups placed on the skin to stimulate circulation and promote healing. Its history spans thousands of years, with records dating back to ancient China, Egypt, and the Middle East—early texts such as the Ebers Papyrus describe similar suction methods used to treat pain and inflammation.
