Diane Jones, Licensed Acupuncturist, has been using acupuncture to promote overall health and wellness for 25 years. In 2005, Diane founded The Acupuncture and Wellness Center. Acupuncture is one of the oldest continuously practiced medical systems in the world. For several thousand years, it has been part of a constantly evolving and cohesive health care system, a system that includes not only acupuncture, but also herbs, proper nutrition, exercise, meditation and therapeutic massage.
Acupuncture itself involves several modalities, most famously the insertion of hair-thin needles along meridian pathways to promote the body's incredible self-healing abilities. Acupuncture is safe, effective, and chemical-free. It treats pain, disease, mood imbalances, increases fertility and boosts the immune system.
