Give it a try!

Acupuncture is over 3,000 years old and treats the body as a whole.

We know the fear our patients can have with needles but we assure you that acupuncture feels completely different that getting a vaccine or IV.

Dr. Serina will use very delicate, thin needles that are put into the surface layer of the skin. These will remain in the skin for 15 minutes and should not cause pain.

Acupuncture works by balancing the body's communication. Disruptions in the communication pathways can be due to the energy there becoming too high or low, leading to a stop in communication with the rest of the system.

We treat what is called a "meridian" or pathway with the needle and this helps to balance it's energy. Once restored to equilibrium, it can return to communicating with the rest of the body and that can decrease your symptoms. 

 

 

Here are some common reasons for treatment:

 

Stress & Anxiety

When you feel overwhelmed, a bit chaotic or like you can't manage your stress levels anymore we can help! Stress, anxiety and even panic attacks are an issue that comes form the communication in your brain breaking down and causing you to go into a fight or flight response. If you stay in this mode for long periods, it starts to cause serious harm to your body. Some of the leading causes of death are linked to high stress levels! Let's take action to help you relax and enter the restorative phase of our nervous system. 

We treat this on a daily basis! Yes, even if you are having panic attacks, are on medication, can't sleep etc. This is a natural way to reset your system and allow your body to heal from the inside. 

Sinus Issues

This treatment helps if you're suffering from headaches due to sinus pressure, sinus congestion, sinus infections, drainage or pressure in the forehead & cheekbones. Patients say they feel like someone hit the pressure release valve during the treatment and they feel much less pressure afterwards. 

Headaches or Migraines

Tension creeps in and can cause daily pain if it's not treated. Using acupuncture offers a different approach than the adjustments, when a patient isn't improving with adjustments, they need to try acupuncture. We use the needles to decrease tension in the upper neck, relieve pressure or tension in the scalp and reset the communication in the area to help you feel that pain get less intense and less frequent. 

Muscular Pain

When you're having pain and you need a quick decrease in your symptoms, acupuncture can be that stepping stone in recovery. This isn't a cure but it can decrease your symptoms while our Doctors are making changes in the cause of your pain. Decreasing pain and tension help the area restore blood flow and bring a sense of pain relief after your session. 

Sleep Issues

There are many parts of your routine that contribute to insomnia but using acupuncture can help you fall asleep quicker and stay asleep easier. It all comes down to being able to switch form the alert and focused brain to the restful and restorative functions. Acupuncture makes this change easier and can be a great medication free option.
