Acupuncture has been used for over 2,500 years to treat and relieve the symptoms caused by many medical conditions. Originating in China, acupuncture is an effective form of health care that has evolved into a complete and holistic medical system. It encourages the body to promote self-healing and to improve function by painlessly inserting hair-thin needles beneath the skin at selected acupuncture points. The human body has more than 2,000 acupuncture points connected via pathways, which create an energy flow [ Qi (pronounced "chee") ] that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of the energy flow can cause disease and other ailments. Acupuncture may correct these imbalances when applied at acupuncture points and improve the flow of Qi. It is safe, natural, drug-free and effective.

Acupuncture is recognized by the [ National Institute of Health (NIH) ] and the [ World Health Organization (WHO) ] to be effective in the treatment of a wide variety of medical problems.  Browse a sampling of health concerns that acupuncture has been effective in treating:

• Addiction: alcohol, drug, food, smoking
• Anxiety, depression

Allow our licensed and experienced acupuncturist, Anna Nazos [ bio ], to show you the benefits and relief that acupuncture can provide. An initial consultation and a physical exam, which entails feeling the pulses and looking at your tongue, will allow Anna to develop a complete and accurate Chinese diagnosis of where the Qi has become stuck or imbalanced in your body. The completely individualized acupuncture treatment program will then begin, with disposable hair-thin acupuncture needles painlessly inserted under the skin in the identified acupuncture points. This process usually creates feelings of warmth, tingling, pressure or a slight ache. This sensation of energy spreading and moving around the needle is called the “Qi” sensation”. Relief from acupuncture may be immediate, delayed a few hours or days – each body responds differently.

Also certified in Chinese Herbology, Anna effectively incorporates the use of natural, Chinese herbs to aid in healing. [ Call ]Pure Health and Wellness today to schedule your acupuncture consultation and to get your questions answered. Also visit our
