Acupuncture

Employed over centuries for health maintenance and preventative care, acupuncture has proven to reduce stress, relieve pain, enhance immunity, and restore the natural flow of the body's own energy. In essence, acupuncture guides the body towards homeostasis, where healing takes place on a deep level in a natural and organic manner. Very fine needles are inserted into specific points along meridian pathways that traverse the body and correspond with the proper functioning of the organs, musculo-skeletal structure, and internal physiological systems. Pain and disease are mirrored through the meridians of the body; when they are properly aligned and restored to their original functioning, the result is a true balance of one's being, resonating in a harmonic symphony of health.

Our licensed acupuncturist, Gregor Bertram, MS, L.Ac, is trained to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions according to traditional Oriental medical principles, while utilizing a comprehensive approach fusing classical Chinese acupuncture with Japanese Hara diagnosis and contemporary pathophysiology. The uniqueness of this style has found great success in treating some of the most chronic and complex of disorders. Structural, hormonal, neurological, autoimmune, and psychological issues are treated with detailed care, while pain and discomfort are usually granted immediate relief.

Trigger point acupuncture, cupping, guasha, and moxibustion are further techniques that are used to eliminate pain, release myofascial congestion, and promote the flow of blood, qi, and lymph.

Acupuncture’s popularity continues to grow and become more accepted into the mainstream as clinical studies are regularly proving its efficacy and people are experiencing positive results. Some of the most common issues treated with acupuncture include: muscular and myofascial pain, arthritis, allergies, asthma, stress, depression, insomnia, headache, fatigue, gastrointestinal, autoimmune, endocrine, hormonal, and neurological disorders, gynecological complaints, smoking addiction, weight control, and recovery from exertion, illness or injury.
