An Acupuncture Program Created for You

Free ConsultationAcupuncture has become a well respected and a more common practice of medical treatment. Dr. Koffler, a graduate of the prestigious Medical Acupuncture for Physicians program at UCLA will expertly apply his skill to promote natural healing and improve the functioning of your body.

The doctor will discuss with you the underlying imbalances leading to your symptoms

It is important that you tell the doctor everything you are doing so that you will gain the most benefit from acupuncture. If acupuncture can help you, a treatment plan is developed. The treatments generally involve the fewest number of needles necessary to achieve the goal of your plan.

Most patients feel no pain as the needles are inserted; some feel minimal pain

Once the needles are in place, you will feel no pain. Acupuncture needles are very thin and solid and are made from stainless steel. Because the doctor uses disposable needles, there is no risk of infection from the treatments.

  • Sports injuries

Acupuncture

 

Patient Focused Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the oldest types of medicinal treatments known to mankind. The classical Chinese explanation of acupuncture is that your body has regular patterns of energy that flow through your body. These energy channels are called meridians and are like rushing water flowing through your body.

When an obstruction blocks this movement, it creates a dam blocking the energy flow. Acupuncture needles unblock these dams and reestablish the regular flow.

Acupuncture treatments can help your body’s internal organs to correct imbalances in your digestion, absorption, and energy production activities, and in the circulation of energy through the meridians.
