Acupuncture

Acupuncture, is an incredibly safe and effective way to treat pain and improve overall health.  There are no side effects like OTC, injections and surgeries.  

Acupuncture is a holistic treatment method that originated in China over a thousand years ago and has been proven in clinical trials to treat and improve a number of medical conditions such as  lower back pain, headaches, neck pain, depression, stress and anxiety.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture as a very effective method of treatment for neurological conditions and pain relief. 

Dr. Bruce Rachum has been trained in both Chinese and Korean acupuncture along with a technique called Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) and has been practicing acupuncture since 2000. Dr. Rachum also uses auricular acupuncture which is a type of ear acupuncture without needles.   

We offer cupping and gua sha as an add on treatment method in addition to your chiropractic treatment. 

We will ask you to fill out the new patient intake paperwork and we can discuss your insurance coverage and benefits.

Before your first visit, please refrain from a heavy meal prior to your appointment.   

You will be laying down flat for approximately 30 minutes so please wear comfortable and loose fitting clothing.

You may bring along a change of clothes to change into for your treatment.

First, Dr. Rachum will meet with you to determine your particular needs.  He will examine you and review your medical history.  He will then discuss with you your options as far as your best course of treatment. 

Each treatment plan is done an individual basis, as each patient has differing needs and responds differently.  So the frequency and duration of your acupuncture session could vary.

We do not believe in selling generic pre-packaged treatment plans since everyone's treatment plan and needs and response are different.

Please drink plenty of water to help your body flush out toxins. 

If possible, please refrain from any heavy meals or strenuous activity for the remainder of the day.

Call us with any questions or concerns.

Many patients report feeling relaxed and wanting to nap after a treatment.

Dr. Rachum will want to know at your next visit how you responded afterwards to your treatment. That response could take a day or two.
