Why Acupuncture?
Everyone seems to have their own opinion about where acupuncture originated.  Some say it started in China, Sri Lanka or Egypt.  Some believe it began 3,000 years ago or more.  What we do know is that acupuncture as a technique has been around a long, long time.  It isn't a fad.  It isn't New Age.  And it isn't going anywhere.

Why?

Because it really does work.

We are not exactly sure exactly how those small needles can ease arthritis, soothe depression, shorten the duration of a common cold, assist with the nausea of chemotherapy, calm a hyperactive child, alleviate allergies or do the thousand other things that acupuncture does, but those needles do actually work.  Often in miraculous ways.

Sarah practices a gentle and unique form of Japanese acupuncture that uses between two and ten carefully placed needles per treatment.  The needles are thinner than a human hair and are inserted very shallowly below the skin.  Needle insertion feels like a tiny mosquito bite for the first few seconds.  Once the needles are in place they are usually hardly noticeable.

The list of ailments that can be treated by acupuncture is exhaustive.  Many physical, mental and emotional condition can usually be improved with regular treatment.  Sarah will be happy to offer you a consultation at no charge to determine if acupuncture can be of help to you.
