Welcome
Acupuncture is an ancient art and science. However, it may be new to you! Acupuncture is actually under the umbrella of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM includes acupuncture, massage, herbal therapy, nutritional therapy, electro-stimulation therapy, cupping, moxibustion, and gua sha, to name a few.
