Affordable Wellness Without Barriers
City Acupuncture’s mission is to provide affordable acupuncture, massage, nutritional and herbal medicine at a price where people can come regularly so they can get well and stay well. The cost of healthcare keeps rising, and there is not enough emphasis on prevention of disease- our goal is to change that.
We treat a wide range of conditions from injury, to musculoskeletal issues, to digestive health, women’s health, fertility, emotional wellness and more. Each acupuncturist has their own style and treatment skill set, but we all can treat any conditions that we are presented with. I am most proud of the fact that people almost always have their issues improve or completely resolve when they come in and follow the treatment plan prescribed by their practitioner.
On a personal level I feel proud to be able to educate people about their health in all aspects- physical and mental, because in Chinese medicine its all connected so when the body heals it’s all aspects. I like to see people take charge of their health and affect change in their own lives. I feel proud to be a part of that.
