Optimal Outcome Add-On:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners believe that illnesses occur due to energy blocks. The goal of acupuncture is to overcome energy blocks so Qi (or life force energy) can circulate freely and restore balance to the mind, body, and soul.
Acupuncture lacks major side effects and is 100% safe when performed by an experienced, licensed acupuncturist and treats illness at the root cause instead of masking its symptoms like traditional medicine.
Our Approach
At Root and Stem, we know that every case is different and that a flexible, customized treatment plan improves patient outcomes. Our acupuncturists perform a thorough intake interview with every new patient. During this initial assessment, we take and evaluate vital signs, discuss health history in depth, and may order lab testing to gain an in-depth understanding of health concerns. Once we deeply understand a patient’s health goals, we craft a personalized treatment and review and revise it as needed.
