Hormone Optimization

Due to the demands of the external environment and the gradual wear and tear of the aging process; there are some physiologic changes that can occur within the body causing symptoms of chronic fatigue, weakness, loss of muscle tone, osteoporosis, weight gain, change in skin texture and tone, diminished libido, depression, etc. These symptoms may be a result of hormone deficiencies that help regulate the body’s normal function. Detecting and optimizing these hormones may help improve some of these symptoms.

Medical Acupuncture

This form of complementary medicine is one of the oldest and safest. The classical Chinese explanation is that of energy flowing through the body via specific channels or meridians. Disease states, both physical and psychological, occur as a result of an obstruction of flow in these energy meridians. The specially designed acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points along the meridian(s) to unblock this energy flow thereby facilitating improvement of the disease states. Acupuncture has been used for conditions such as arthritis, depression, headaches and other chronic pain syndromes, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, various digestive and pelvic/gynecologic disorders, etc. It has even been shown to safely help reduce the craving of tobacco, alcohol, as well as other addictive substances.
