Creating Health vs. Managing Dysfunction

What Are Your Symptoms Trying To Tell You?

Most people think the current symptoms they are experiencing ARE their problem, be it pain or some other dysfunction.

So when they take a drug made form petroleum or a surgical procedure to alleviate the symptom they they think the problem is gone. Not so, they are simply masking the symptom and not dealing with the actual issue thats CAUSING their symptom (with the exception of symptoms caused by traumatic injury)

Why Try Acupuncture Before Drugs and Surgery

I often find that when people come in for their first acupuncture treatment, we are usually their last resort.

They are still experiencing digestive complaints like reflux, IBS, stomach pain, belching. They are still hounded by relentless anxiety and stress, and they haven’t gotten the results or relief they originally sought. What I want to suggest is beginning to think about coming in for acupuncture first, before drugs and before surgery.
