Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves the use of fine needles that are inserted into the skin. It can be used to treat symptoms of the circulatory, digestive, nervous, muscular and genito-urinary systems.

Early Chinese physicians found a series of energy pathways just beneath the surface of the skin, which connect the outside of the body to the internal organs by thousands of acupuncture points. Stimulating key acupuncture points throughout the body can help to restore energy balance.

Dr. Chris is our dedicated acupuncturist in the clinic having first gotten interested in Eastern medicine when seeing how it was employed in the tv show Kung Fu. He started to research the benefits of the Traditional Chinese medicine and saw that acupuncture had been used in eastern medical traditions to restore natural pathways and reduce pain.

Dr. Chris has employed acupuncture for the treatment of many different things in the clinic including headaches and to help with quitting smoking. He has seen a big change in the employment of acupuncture over time in Sioux Falls, from being one of the first people to offer acupuncture at all in town to now where there are dedicated acupuncture clinics.
