91.5% reported "disappearance" or "improvement" of symptoms after acupuncture treatment.

84% said they see their MDs less.

79% said they use fewer prescription drugs.

70% of those to whom surgery had been recommended said they avoided it.

Many people in Philadelphia also use acupuncture for health maintenance and preventative care, as well as a tool for personal and spiritual growth.

In my experience, acupuncture can bring a deep sense of peace and well being. It cultivates our innate healing capability that is our birth right. It awakens our senses and allows us to come to life more fully. It offers the possibility of a deep healing transformation on a mind, body and spirit level!
