Acupuncture in pregnancy Scarborough Maine

Acupuncture aims to restore balance in the body by eliminating any disharmony and its symptoms including pain, hormonal imbalance, digestive upset, and more.

It is a great compliment to physical therapy and yoga, integrating into your treatment plan and helping you reach your health goals.

Your diagnosis and treatment is based on how your symptoms manifest physically, how they impact your daily activities, and their effect on your emotional well being. Because every person is unique we work to find what works best for you, creating a fluid treatment plan that can shift depending on what you need.

An acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of sterile needles into particular points eliciting a physiological response meant to help your body heal. In addition to acupuncture an appointment could include manual therapy, cupping, electrical stimulation of needles, herbal prescriptions, and dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
