Acupuncture works!
Historically, more people have been healed through the use of acupuncture than with all other healthcare modalities combined. Acupuncture is practiced in Europe, Asia & Russia as well as here in the United States.
Acupuncture can be used in concert with chiropractic adjustments, conventional Western medicine, homeopathic and herbal remedies.
It is important that all your health care providers are aware of all the modalities you are using to optimize your personal well-being.

Massage during pregnancy, only after your 1st trimester, is a great way to relieve everyday tension, general aches and pains your body is suffering. Pregnancy Massage stimulates your lymphatic system, supports immunity and increases removal of excess toxins, while stabilizing and balancing the glandular system’s hormonal levels.
Pregnancy Massage also helps

- Improve circulation
- Reduce swelling/edema

PLEASE NOTE:
As with any therapeutic approach to pregnancy wellness, women should discuss massage with their prenatal care provider. The best way to address the risks of prenatal massage is to be informed and to work together with knowledgeable health care professionals.
