Exciting News!!! We now offer affordable Community Acupuncture at our new clinic location every Thursday 3-6pm!! Hopefully, we will expand to offer it more days, but we are going to start small and see what happens!
This has been a long-term goal of mine to help serve our community better and to treat more in alignment with how this medicine was meant to work- early and frequent intervention of an issue to resolve it as quickly as possible-- or identify if the patient needs to be seen by another specialist-- BEFORE it becomes a nasty chronic issue!!!
