Published medical research, including reports from the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health, demonstrate acupuncture is an effective adjunct therapy for a wide variety of conditions.

"Acupuncture has substantially lower incidence of adverse side effects than that of many drugs or other accepted medical procedures used for the same conditions." - NIH, Consensus Statement JAMA Vol 280 No.17 Nov. 4, 1998.

Under the leadership of William D. Skelton, D. Ac., our acupuncture services adopt this ancient system of traditional Chinese medicine as a modern, painless treatment. According to Dr. Skelton, "Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to treat conditions as a complement to traditional medical therapy. We always seek to work with your healthcare provider and will do our best to help you."

Conditions that can be helped by acupuncture include:

• Chronic pain    
• Sciatica
• Tendonitis
• Muscle pain
• Arthritis
• Shingles symptoms
• Stroke symptoms
• Irritable Bowel
• Neuropathy
• Tobacco cessation
• Fatigue
• Infertility
• Headache, including migraine
• PMS
• Neck and back pain
• Infertility
• TMJ
• Anxiety
• Fibromyalgia Syndrome
• Nausea

Are you concerned about the needles? Acupuncture needles are very thin, and very rarely, if ever, hurt. All acupuncture needles are new, used only once, and disposed of in a hospital sharps box.
