Unlocking Balance with Acupuncture
A holistic approach to wellness and healing.
What You Need To Know
At Health Haven, we’re proud to offer focused acupuncture therapy for patients of all walks of life.
Rooted in ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture is designed to clear the inner pathways of your body, removing congestion and allowing you to function to the best of your ability, which is achieved through placing thin needles at various points on the body.
These needles help your body to reestablish correct and healthy communication between different parts of your body, bring itself back in to homeostasis, and relieve your pathways to proper function, resulting in natural wellness. Acupuncture can decrease inflammation, regulate hormones, and increase healthy blood circulation.
We’re proud to offer acupuncture that’s focused and unique to each individual patient, and we promise to dive deep to uncover exactly what’s going on in your body so that we can recommend the best possible care plan for success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does acupuncture hurt?
Because each person is unique, and the length of treatment may also depend on the severity and duration of the issue, it’s difficult to say exactly how many sessions you’ll need before your complaint is resolved. However, for acute conditions, we generally like to see patients a couple of times a week at first, and will gradually reduce their frequency of care as the symptoms clear up and root cause is addressed. You can expect a minimum of 3 treatments, possibly 10-12 sessions for subacute issues, and longer for long-term chronic conditions, or those with less energy for the body to direct to their healing. In the meantime, you will notice a general improvement in your overall wellbeing.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is probably the first therapy that patients think of when they consider seeking Traditional Chinese Medical healing. As one of the commonest and certainly one of the oldest types of Chinese medical therapies, acupuncture has gained international recognition in recent decades as western scientific research increasingly corroborates what TCM practitioners have known for millennia – acupuncture is a technique that has provable therapeutic benefits.
Acupuncture is actually a range of procedures all of which involve stimulating anatomical points or meridians on the body using different techniques. The most common and well-known technique involves delicately piercing the skin with fine, metal needles by hand. However, acupuncture can also include electro-acupuncture in which the needles are stimulated by electrical current, ear acupuncture, cupping, and moxibustion, in which the mugwort herb is burned on the end of the acupuncture needles.
Acupuncture needles are so extremely thin and tiny that patients experience practically no discomfort when the needles are inserted. Although research is still ongoing to try to understand how acupuncture works, it appears on a physiological level that the insertion of the needles causes body processes and functions to physically change so that energy flows smoothly and balance is restored.
The Best of Chinese Medicine offers targeted acupuncture treatments to help correct: joint and muscle pain, fertility and sterility problems, manage weight issues and for facial rejuvenation.
