Acupuncture balances the sympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”) to reduce stress and promote healing
Improves Circulation
By promoting circulation in the body, acupuncture improves function where it’s needed
Increases Neuroplasticity
Acupuncture interacts with the brain to encourage new neural circuits that help reduce areas of blockage and stimulate organ function
Decreases Pain
Acting as a natural analgesic, acupuncture releases natural endorphins and interrupts pain signaling in the brain
Reduces Inflammation
Acupuncture regulates the immune system and reduces pro-inflammatory markers in the body
Balances Your Body Chemistry
Acupuncture works on the pituitary and hypothalamus glands to regulate hormone release in the body improving the body’s biochemical responses
When you come in to Health Traditions Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Clinic for regular acupuncture visits over several weeks, your body will naturally and gently begin to undergo positive changes.

We specialize in treating a wide variety of health conditions
