Acupuncture
The premise of acupuncture stems from the theory that there is a two way communication between the skin and all organs of the body. By stimulating certain points, the progress of a condition can not only be arrested but even reversed, bringing the patient back to health and normal function. This alternative medicine deals with the energy levels of an individual and aims to maintain a balance in the bodies healing energy of the body, also known as Qi.

Those in oriential and eastern medicine claim that acupuncture treats over 2000 different conditions and have been seeing results for over 4000 years. At Family and Specialty Medical Center we aim to treat all of these complaints and can do so using the tradition needling techniques or by using a microcurrent machine that does not involve puncturing of the skin. With this machine we can graph the patient, determine energy imbalances, and treat quickly and effectively.
