What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a method of medical treatment in which thin steel needles are inserted into the skin at specific trigger points. The practice has existed for thousands of years as a way of treating a variety of ailments. According to the traditional understanding, acupuncture points exist along key energy pathways in the body. When we become sick, it's because these pathways are blocked. By performing acupuncture on these points, we can restore proper energy flow as well as stimulate blood flow and healing responses in the body.

Many different conditions have proven themselves responsive to acupuncture treatment. Among these are digestive, musculoskeletal, and neurological conditions. Dr. Eshkevari excels at diagnosing conditions his patients are experiencing and identifying the correct acupuncture points that will help them recover.
