What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the oldest medicine in the world that is still in use. Originating in Asia over 5,000 years ago, it is still powerfully effective in the modern world, without surgery or side effects.
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific locations all over the body. Each location controls a series of signals to the brain, initiating a dramatic acceleration of healing.

Men’s Health
Most men over age 50 will begin to experience changes in their urinary and sexual functions. Between the infuriating inability to urinate, the chronic fatigue, and the difficulty in performing sexually, a gentleman may find himself asking what happened to his vitality and good humor. Pills and surgery are the MD’s primary approaches. But many men have discovered that Viagra doesn’t always work, and surgeries on the prostate are often unsuccessful and can cause lingering pain exactly where you don’t want it.
Conditions treated:
- BPH
- Too-frequent urination
- Weak urinary stream
- Difficulty voiding bladder
- Chronic UTI’s
- Incontinence
- Difficulty maintaining erection
- Difficulty ejaculating
- Low testosterone
- Low sex drive
