Bishop Acupuncture

I am often asked what acupuncture can do. I can give you a laundry list: back aches, headaches, allergies, digestive issues, PMS, menopause, insomnia, depression, anxiety, nausea, fatigue, ADHD, all kinds of stuff. Then you might wonder how I can effectively treat so many things. Honestly, some things do respond more than others. Some people respond more than others.

“Can it treat this?” Generally, yes. Grossly oversimplified, traditional Oriental medicine views health as determined by quantity and quality of qi, or life energy. Every physical malady boils down to an energetic imbalance. It would be egotistical of me to say “I fix” or “I heal.” What I do, be it acupuncture, TBM, or prescribing herbs, is encouraging your body to come back into balance.
