Acupuncture is a 5000+ year old medical therapy to activate the three systems that run through the whole body – neuro-endocrine, cardiovascular and musculo-sinew. In treating these systems at areas called acupuncture points, where large bundles of nerves/veins/connective tissue come together, a practitioner can make profound systemic changes in the body to produce a holistic, healing effect. Acupuncture is one of three main branches of East Asian Medicine used for centuries (the other two being nutrition/exercise and Chinese herbal therapy).

Dry Needling/Orthopedic Acupuncture is an ancient form of acupuncture that specifically focuses on trigger points within the musculo-skeletal system to alleviate pain and inflammation. By stimulating and releasing these points of congestion, muscles relax, nerves calm down, pain signals are blocked in the brain and endorphins are released. Through repeated treatments, long-standing musculo-skeletal problems are either fixed completely or go into remission.

East Asian women have used acupuncture to prevent signs of aging since the Song Dynasty (960 AD). Sullivan Acupuncture uses a unique blend of acupuncture and near-red and blue light therapy to diminish wrinkles, firm skin and heal blotchy skin color/blemishes.

Chinese herbal therapy is the most advanced, longest-lived herbal systems in the world. Dating back well-over 5000 years old, the Chinese have tested and documented many, many formulas to help with a wide variety of internal and external symptoms. Chinese herbal formulas are more safe and often just as effective with fewer side effects than many medications out there.
