This medicine is at least 3,000 years old and is the primary care for more than one quarter of the world's population. The ancient people who discovered these amazing medical modalities, were meticulous observers. They discovered pathways (or meridians) through the body, along which lay powerful points that, when stimulated, produced dramatic effects.
With modern technology, we have been able to begin understanding why acupuncture works for so many different issues. We are gaining more insight into the unique properties of acupuncture points and meridians. At their first acupuncture appointment, many patients ask me "What does it do?" The short and simple answer is "It restores homeostasis." Homeostasis is your body's basic job description, the internal balance of every system.
In a fundamental sense, all disease is a disturbance of homeostasis. The fact that acupuncture can be so simple yet so powerful, is in its ability to incite the body's own homeostatic restoration. Acupuncture stimulates the peripheral nervous system, which effects the central nervous system, which regulates the autonomic nervous system.

Services
The first time you come to Points North, you will have a brief, private intake.
I will ask you questions about your health, especially the circumstances that prompted seeking care.
After our discussion, your acupuncture treatment will take place in one of the two community treatment rooms.
There is a table, recliners, or hybrid treatment chairs to choose from.
Each of these is separated by screens for those who prefer some privacy in their community acupuncture experience.
The needles will be inserted and left in place for approximately 25-45 minutes while you relax.
