Medical Acupuncture
What is Medical Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a healing modality that utilizes thin needles to restore the flow of vital energy through the body. Medical acupuncture is performed by a physician with extensive training in the art of acupuncture, bringing a unique perspective on health, disease, and function to your care. During your treatment, Dr. Peebles may select acupuncture points along traditional meridians (energy channels), anatomical structures (painful joints, muscles, etc), or points on the scalp or ear that influence the entire body.
