Healing Rivers Acupuncture
Using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to promote your body’s natural healing response and restore balance
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing modality that was developed in China over 3000 years ago. It is a safe, natural, drug-free and effective method to restore health and balance to your life. Acupuncture works to return the proper flow of energy within the body and stimulates the body’s natural healing response; guiding the body back to its optimal balanced state. Research has shown that needling acupuncture points can reduce inflammation, promote blood circulation, and activate certain parts of the brain.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine can be a stand alone or complementary therapeutic modality to acupuncture. It has a long and rich history of development, use and research and is a safe, effective, drug-free way to become well and stay healthy. Chinese herbal medicines are made from all natural ingredients held to the highest quality standards.
Every herbal prescription is unique to your condition and may come in the form of capsules, tinctures or granules.
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient healing practice that has been used for thousands of years in East Asian and Egyptian civilizations. It involves the application of glass cups to the body. Through the use of negative pressure, muscle and tissue are contracted and released to promote the flow of blood and nutrients to the effected area.
