Acupuncture and East Asian medicine are ancient arts. The history of their practice dates back over 3000 years, placing these modalities among the world’s oldest continuously practiced forms of medicine. Today, these systems are still utilized as primary health care for over one-third of the world’s population.
The scope of Acupuncture and East Asian medicine’s effectiveness reaches far beyond the treatment of disease. It encompasses the nurturing of true health and wellness of all aspects of an individual — the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components that comprise each human being.
Jennifer Spain, Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist, believes that the powerful healing capacity of East Asian medicine, combined with the innate safety of the medicine, are important reasons why this medicine has withstood the test of time. Jennifer pays homage to these time-honored medical traditions with devoted attention to excellence in care.
