Acupuncture is a 5000 year old medical treatment tradition originating in the Far East. Practiced throughout the modern world, millions have found relief through acupuncture, cupping and tunia massage for a wide variety of ailments. The NIH currently has over 40 open studies on acupuncture (not to mention the dozens of published studies!). Owner Kris Petersen, MS, LAc, retired massage therapist, has 40+ years in the medical wellness industry and works closely with both traditional and alternative practitioners. Acupuncture can help relieve fatigue, chronic pain and injury, poor flexibility, dependence on medications, stress, neurological, muscular, and many other painful issues. Acupuncture and cupping work alone or in tandem with conservative Western Medicine without fear of side effects or dangerous drug interactions.
