Patients all over the world have found relief and healing from acupuncture, and top medical centers such as the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and Cleveland Clinic offer acupuncture and other alternative medical treatments and therapies. Within the framework of Western medicine, scientists are still studying acupuncture and are only just beginning to discover exactly how it works. 

It is recognized that while we may not yet fully understand all of the nuances of how acupuncture works, centuries of empirical evidence show us that it does work, and has been a source of healing and pain relief long before Western medicine and pharmaceuticals emerged.

Find Your Chi works with patients to discover their individual needs and create a customized treatment plan while keeping in mind where Western medicine could also help.
