Open Path Acupuncture uses ancient medicine to craft personalized treatment grounded in a holistic philosophy of health and life.
Our Approach
Chinese Medicine reflects the natural world and its balance. This same dynamic balancing applies to the human form as it manifests the life force of nature. Any impediment to the smooth flow of this force can result in pain or dysregulation. Chinese medicine uses gentle techniques to clear the path of life force to bring the body back into balance and unlock its healing potential. A body in harmony and balance has the resources to heal and flourish. We use gentle modalities of acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional counseling/dietary therapy to move toward optimal health and wellness.
