Acupuncture has a unique way of working.
No other modality can touch it. It both heals
and re-energizes the body. Once you pierce
the skin you’re working on a different level.
In ancient China, doctors earned their money during the times the client was kept well with herbs including food preparation and acupuncture. Oriental medicine provides a model of good health, what health is supposed to look like. Welcome to Acubody acupuncture clinic & gym.

Tendonitis & Muscle Strain
Tennis elbow and golfers elbow, called epicondylitis, is a common issue. Acupuncture helps reduce inflammation and heal joints and tendons, knees too, from overuse, strain and or repetitive motion in tennis, golf and other sports. These problems also affect: basketball and volleyball players, carpenters, construction workers, painters, cooks, and all sorts of people that work a lot with their hands.
Better Sleep
Deep, restorative sleep lowers systemic inflammation and allows the entire body to recover from almost every type of malady. But if you’re having poor sleep this can exacerbate pain and set you up for more pain. Acupuncture and herbs are customized for each person and their particular sleep. Whether trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, bad dreams, or disruptions in the schedule etc., acupuncture and Chinese herbs are customized according to each person’s pattern.
Post Surgery
Having a background as a post-surgery nurse and aftercare RN, I always enjoy helping people in surgical recovery and rehab. Acupuncture after surgical procedures can help reduce postoperative swelling and pain. Post surgery points are chosen distal to the actual surgical site. Even if a limb is in a cast, we can still treat it by using corresponding points in other areas and on the opposite side of the body.
Neck and Shoulder
In treatment of musculoskeletal problems, I employ expert palpation in a gentle therapeutic massage technique to diagnose and addresses the tightness, tension bands, and blocked areas around the neck and shoulder. From sleeping wrong to injury: acupuncture, moxibustion, gua sha, gentle tui na massage all work to target the problem. Included often are Chinese herbs, liniment, hot packs and more.
Back Pain
Expert palpation identifies areas of tension and blockage in the torso and low back. At the same time the treatment works to release spasm and reduce painful inflammation. Acupuncture releases myofascial pain and tightness. It neutralizes imbalances and improves energy flow in the body and meridian channels.
Athletics
Sports acupuncture has been used all over the world, from treating injury to helping athletes, including race horses, improve performance. Acupuncturists are commonly employed by major sports teams all across the globe. Athletes turn to acupuncture to not only help with pain and injury, but to improve health and performance.
Immunity & Wellness
Acupuncture helps the body regulate stress and hormones. It causes endorphins to be released which charge up the body’s immune system like a battery. Herbs and tonics are often customized to each individual’s unique constitution and pattern.
Cycles & Fertility
Acupuncture is prescribed by fertility doctors to help increase female fertility at certain times during IVF treatment to support a successful pregnancy that leads to a live birth.
It’s not uncommon for a woman to receive acupuncture within the hour
before a fertility procedure.
