Chinese medicine is a 2,000 year old holistic approach that helps enable the body to heal itself, and includes but is not limited to: ACUPUNCTURE, CHINESE HERBAL THERAPY, CUPPING, AND MOXIBUSTION. Acupuncture uses hair-size needles inserted throughout the body to trigger the release of endorphins. This creates a sense of balance and well being which allows the body to tap into its natural ability to heal itself. In an official report, the World Health Organization (WHO) has listed the following symptoms, diseases, and conditions that have been shown through controlled trials to be treated effectively by Acupuncture:

*neck/back pain, sciatica
*acute and chronic gastritis
*facial/dental pain, TMJ
