Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a brilliant medical tradition dating thousands of years. By inserting tiny needles into the body’s meridian network, we rebalance the flow of Qi and harmonize the internal relationship between yin and yang. This creates a euphoric state of decreased pain, and increased peace and well-being.

From a Western perspective, acupuncture triggers the fascial system to send messages to the brain that reduce inflammation, calm the nervous system, and flood the body with feel-good hormones like serotonin, oxytocin, opioid peptides, GABA, and dopamine. This makes it a first-line treatment for: digestion, insomnia, gynecology, fertility, obstetrics, autoimmune, reproductive endocrinology, chronic pain, migraines, mental health, and acute injuries. While many think of acupuncture as just a potent stress reducer and pain reliever, it is also an effective medical system that can treat most internal medicine conditions and is considered primary care in some states.

Chinese Medicine reflects the principle that humans are the mediators between heaven and earth, with an intricate energetic system conducting Qi and blood through a beautiful woven network that keeps us alive and well. We both treat disease and prevent disease, and can be a one-stop-shop for all of your medical, emotional, and spiritual concerns.

During your acupuncture session, Dr. Margarita will do a thorough intake of all of your bodily systems and your mental health. We will then develop a customized treatment plan based on your unique needs and wellness goals. All sessions include a blend of acupuncture and essential oils, seasonal dietary therapy, and the option to add-on cupping, Tui Na massage, functional medicine protocols, or traditional herbal medicine.
