What can I expect during my first Chiropractic visit?

Your Doctor will ask you about the reason for your visit, as well as your health history. This may include asking you questions about illnesses, past surgeries, medications and other health issues.

What is Contemporary Medical Acupuncture?

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture takes an ancient therapy and re-defines its mechanisms and effects using present-day scientific understanding of human physiology.

Acupuncture stimulates nerve receptors in skin and muscle. In response, the body unleashes a cascade of natural and therapeutic responses that cause an increase of local blood flow that encourages tissue healing. The effects of acupuncture accumulate when repeated.
