How Acupuncture Helps

Depending on your symptoms, I can diagnose several different TCM-based syndromes, based on your experience. This could be a counterflow of qi (as seen through nausea or reflux), stagnation leading to phlegm, and so much more.


By treating you naturally, we can help to:


  • Reduce stomach acid irritation
  • Promotes blood circulation to aid healing
  • Reduce pain
  • Ease nausea naturally
  • Balances your stress response

Josh is a very pleasant and enthusiastic young man. He is both open and open-minded unlike the acupuncturists I have seen in the past who didn’t really explain the treatment given and tend to put needles in and then leave to do other things. Josh is with you throughout the consultation. Josh will happily share his knowledge with you and I’ll encourage all of his patients to ask him questions which, I think, helps provide him with more insight.
