I came to Erica with a tendinitis in my elbow, being a little unsure of whether acupuncture would help with this issue or not.
I did not want to go the route of pain killers and/or cortisone injections just yet so I thought I'd give it a try.
It took about 7 treatments but my pain did go away, and I could feel an improvement after each session.
After attempting to quit smoking several times, Erica helped me control my cravings through her practice in acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
Ever since my first experience with Erica I've truly been able to listen to my body and relax without the need of cigarettes.

Several thousand years ago, East Asian practitioners discovered that the body forms disharmonies as a result of the various physical and mental stresses of life.
Oriental medical theory explains these disharmonies as an imbalance of opposing forces called yin and yang.
This imbalance disrupts the movement of the body's vital energy (qi) along the meridian pathways, which are channels through which the body's energy is thought to flow.
Acupuncture restores the smooth flow of qi.
By inserting and manipulating needles at specific points on the body, I am able to return the body to its natural balance and promote the body's ability to heal itself.
