what is acupuncture?

Acupuncture has been used for over 2,500 years as a healing technique of Eastern Medicine. Originating in China, it involves inserting ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific Acupoints on the skin to improve function and promote the body’s natural self-healing process.

“Living with Crohn’s can be challenging. Sharon has been there to provide support if I splurge and eat the wrong foods and start having symptoms or break out with a rash. Plus after her treatments, I leave feeling less stressed following a long workday.”

“I originally visited Sharon for my chronic knee pain. With weekly treatments, the pain significantly decreased, so much so, I was actually surprised it worked. My mood also significantly improved and I felt ready to tackle new challenges.”

“I am a Type II Diabetic and decided I wanted off of the large dose of Metformin my doctor had me on for years. I saw Sharon and was able to taper down my prescription medicine with her help and coordination with my physician. My husband also told me he noticed I was less irritable and seemed happier since starting acupuncture and herbs. That’s a bonus.”

“I drive a lot for work and my back pain became unbearable. I saw Sharon weekly for acupuncture and eventually, my pain decreased to the point where I only need a touch up on occasion. She also provides practical recommendations that I had not considered before.”

“After witnessing a violent crime, I began suffering from PTSD. Doctors wanted to prescribe psychiatric drugs which I did not want, so I sought Sharon’s help. With acupuncture and herbs, I was able to eliminate the PTSD symptoms and sleep soundly at night.”
