What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that originated as a part of traditional Chinese medicine. This practice involves inserting tiny needles into the body at key points. It is most commonly used to treat pain, but can also be used to effectively manage stress. Traditional Chinese medicine defines acupuncture as a treatment used to balance energy flow within the body. This energy is known as chi or qi (chee). The traditional Chinese belief is that Inserting needles into strategic points along your body's meridians allows the flow of energy to rebalance or release. Western practitioners often use acupuncture to stimulate connective tissue, nerves, and muscles. It is also used to boost your body's natural response to pain.

Testimonial

  • "I visited Dr. Laura after having tension headaches for several months. After the first adjustment, I had instant relief! I have since visited her practice for acupuncture and had the best massage I've ever experienced from Sarah. Dr. Laura is exceptionally knowledgeable in her field, and I highly recommend her!"

  • "Dr. Laura Zaker has helped me realize that the spine is movable. I'm in my early sixties and was skeptical that my persistent back pain could be addressed. After years of sharp pain, within two months, I am amazed that I no longer have the pain. The muscles in my back and neck are no longer feeling strained. I am writing this since I was fortunate to have received this unexpected physical improvement; I am a fan of Dr. Laura Zaker."
