I find that many times I see patients who have exhausted what they can get from Western medicine and are now reaching for alternative treatments. They are always amazed at what can be done to help when we get to the root cause with remedies as simple as herbal teas, changes in nutrition, or accupuncture. By working with my patients both spiritually and physically we have been able to accomplish some rather remarkable results.

Acupuncture in 85742 - is it right for me?
Acupuncture is based on the concepts of oriental medicine or traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is one of the oldest healing practices in the world. 85742 acupuncturists are health care professionals who evaluate and treat the many conditions, aches and pains that respond to acupuncture.

Acupuncturists insert very fine acupuncture needles into the body. The purpose of the needles is to stimulate acupuncture points or meridians. The needles do not inject any substance into your body and are so fine as to be virtually impossible to feel. In some cases, acupuncture may be accompanied by electrical stimulation or the burning of moxa, a form of heat therapy. Or use acupressure, where physical pressure is applied by hand or elbow to trigger points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians.

'Accupuncture' and 'Accupuncturist' are common mis-spellings.
