Acupuncture is for everyone.

Acupuncture can help alleviate pain AND it can also support you in maintaining balance.

You don't have to have a health issue to benefit from acupuncture. In fact, regular acupuncture can promote & maintain a healthier you so that you can keep doing what you love!

Emily doesn't just design merchandise & work at the front desk, she's also a client (& an amazing artist)! We are grateful that she chose to share her story with us.

If Emily's story resonates with you, come on in and give acupuncture a try. We'd love to meet you!

Reiki is a form of energy healing that uses gentle touch or hovering hands to channel Qi (spirit, life force) to promote healing and balance. Reiki masters like Beth work with you to clear blockages, alleviate pain, and promote mental clarity & grounding.

Reiki can also help you feel more settled in your body by re-setting your nervous system.

Beth is here on Saturdays and would love to help you on your healing journey. Schedule on-line or call the office: (614) 725-2488.

Mary is adding every other Saturday to her current schedule so it's easier to get an appointment! If Tuesday or Friday isn't working with your schedule, now you can find time to relax on Saturday with Mary!

Mary primarily utilizes The Trager® Approach which uses gentle rhythmic rocking motions to help reset the body from a state of tension to a state of relaxation. These movements coax the brain out of holding patterns that manifest in pain or decreased range of motion. The goal is to smooth out the wrinkles in the system to promote freedom of movement, relief of pain and comfort within the body.

Schedule on-line or call us: (614) 725-2488.

Steve (with the help of Jeff, Katie, and an acupuncture needle) explains how we help new patients overcome their fear of needles so that they can benefit from acupuncture treatments. We think you'll agree that it's worth trying, even if you're nervous.

If you've been considering acupuncture, or have a friend or loved one who'd like to try, but fear of needles is stopping you, we hear you and we understand. Listen to Steve and hopefully, you'll be willing to take that first step towards a healthier you!

Join Raj this Friday, October 24th for a Group Gong Bath at 6:00 pm. Gong bath allows your brain to relax into an alpha or theta-dominant brainwave state. The result is that you’ll feel calmer, happier, and less anxious after a session. Studies show reduced symptoms of depression and other health benefits including improved immune function and stress reduction. Gong baths promote an emotional detox effect resulting in decreased tension, anger, and fatigue, possibly due to suppression of the fight-or-flight response.

Sign up on-line via CLASSES, call the office, or show up by 6:00 pm. on Friday!

Susan fully understands the value of a good night's sleep so when she was suffering from middle-of-the-night insomnia 12 years ago, she decided to give acupuncture a try.

After acupuncture helped her sleep restfully, she continued to undergo treatments that helped her prior to and following orthopedic, breast, and pancreatic cancer surgeries.

Acupuncture was a constant for her during radiation, chemo-therapy & post chemo-therapy neuropathy. Acupuncture allowed her to tolerate the myriad side effects of cancer treatment and make a positive difference in her life and health journey.

We are grateful that Susan is sharing her story with us & you. If you relate to any part of her story, we are here to help.

Schedule on-line or call us for more information: (614) 725-2488.

Acupuncture is an excellent complementary therapy to help patients dealing with cancer, specifically in helping decrease chemo-therapy side effects.

Acupuncture can help to reduce these common chemo-therapy side effects:
nausea/vomiting
fatigue
pain
hot flashes
insomnia
anxiety
dry mouth
compromised immunity

Thaddeus & Sally share their story of how "the Body Shop" helps them stay strong, relaxed, and feeling "excellent."

If you are dealing with chemo-therapy side effects or are the caregiver of a person dealing with cancer, acupuncture can help you BOTH, together.

Be like Sally & Thaddeus: come and get acupuncture together!

We wish it wasn't true, but there are still a lot of skeptics out there when it comes to acupuncture treatment. Fortunately, if you're like Lee and "try it, you just might like it!"

If you've been considering acupuncture, or even if you don't think it's for you, maybe this is your sign to give it a try!

Lee is no longer a skeptic & we appreciate that he is enthusiastically willing to share his story!

Lee was a skeptic until he tried acupuncture. Affordability brought him in and now the VA pays for his treatments. If you're unsure about whether acupuncture...
