The needles used are sterile and very fine, like a human hair. Most people do not feel the needles, or at most, there may be a tiny pinch that last less than a second. The needles are only used once and then are disposed of. Many people feel very relaxed during and after the treatment, while others are energized.

Nutrition  Back to top
Nutrition is a way of using food and supplements to encourage the body's ability to naturally heal itself. It does this by detoxifying the body; correcting vitamin and mineral deficiencies; restoring healthy digestion; developing a positive attitude.

On your first visit to the office, we will ask you questions about your medical history, dietary choices, family history, menstrual history, digestion, energy levels and exercise habits. This will assist your physician in recognizing any nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, toxic overload, or general nutritional concerns. 

In addition, we may advise you to take a hair analysis, hormone testing, food allergy tests, heavy metal screening, etc. in order to get a better understanding of your current health status. Specific foods will be recommended that you can eat, while other foods may be suggested to avoid. A dietary plan suited to your needs will be recommended along with vitamins and supplements to encourage your body to heal itself.
