Acupuncture is over 3,000 years old! Acupuncture is the insertion of needles into the body at specific points along the energy pathways known as meridians to prevent and treat a wide range of health conditions.  It is proven to be an effective, safe alternative or complementary medicine which helps to restore balance in the body, relieving symptoms, and assisting in regaining health.  Acupuncture can also be used as a preventative measure to maintain health and vigor throughout one’s life.  Each treatment is tailored to you as an individual, not just a condition.  Some commonly treated conditions are: back and neck pain, allergies, anxiety, migraines, stress, headaches, infertility, sciatica, side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, arthritis, asthma and many other conditions. 

Acupressure is a technique similar in principle to acupuncture. In treatment, physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points with the aim of clearing blockages in these meridians (energy pathways). Pressure may be applied by fingers, parts of the hand, elbow, or with various tools.

During an acupressure session, you lie fully clothed on a soft massage table or chair. Dr. Karen gently presses on acupressure points on your body. A session typically lasts about 45 minutes. You may need several sessions for the best results.  $140.00 per session

Major Insurance Companies (Argus, Coralisle and BF&M) provide some coverage for acupuncture.
