About Metro Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a treatment method that is part of a system of healing that has been developed and tested over thousands of years with proven beneficial results. Acupuncture is gentle, safe, and effective. It is a natural medicine that does not have negative side effects and it treats root causes of pain not just symptoms. The treatments can provide the patient to be empowered to heal.

While many serious acute conditions such as injuries and illnesses require the immediate attention of a qualified MD, acupuncture provides many benefits both independently of and as a complement to Western medical treatments.

Treating chronic painful conditions can be complex for Eastern and Western medicine. Often there is not one single answer to relieve pain. The patient's level of pain may not correlate with the medical tests and findings. Patients can be in extreme pain when all tests are negative. Many Western medicines are effective for pain management; however, it is possible to wean off or discontinue some medicines completely with the use of acupuncture, thereby avoiding medication side effects, tolerance, and addiction. The body's ability to heal is miraculous and acupuncture provides a way for the body to heal from the inside out.

We are staffed with board certified MD acupuncturists and board certified licensed acupuncturists offering acupuncture and herbal medicine for patients diagnosed with chronic or acute pain, infertility, headaches, mood disturbances (anxiety and fatigue), insomnia, menopausal disorders, digestive disorders, sinusitis and other difficult conditions. Having such a vast medical perspective offers us the ability to look at each patient's pain from many angles, and provide an individualized and personal approach to our patients' healing.
