Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that is based on the theory that energy, called chi (“Chee”), flows through and around your body along pathways called meridians. Chi’s balance greatly influences the mental, physical, spiritual and emotional part of the self. Acupuncturists believe that illness occurs when something blocks or unbalances one’s chi and is responsible for the rise in symptoms and disease.

“To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.”
— Dr. A.T. Still, Founder of Osteopathy

Osteopathy seeks to restore balance by removing obstacles which interfere with the body's innate
potential. Osteopathic practitioners use their hands to mobilize joints, and manipulate visceral organs or
subtle workings of the cranial-sacral mechanism.
Osteopathy regards the body functions as a whole and aims to bring the body into harmony. This client
centered approach involves gentle palpation to ascertain the root of a person's dysfunction.
Osteopathic Practitioners can help if you are experiencing problems such as:
Neck and back pain and tension
Headaches
Sleep or energy issues
Sports injuries
Concussion
Injuries from car accidents
Repetitive strain injuries
Joint or muscle pain
Digestive, respiratory or menstrual problems
Pre and post-natal support
Fertility
Jaw dysfunction
Osteopathy is drug and surgery free. It optimizes the body’s ability to heal itself and achieve balance.
Benefits include:
Pain relief
Increased range of motion
Increased circulation
Trauma healing
Hormonal balance
Decreased stress and tension
Improved posture
