Emerge Acupuncture utilizes Oriental Medicine in its health care practices.

Oriental Medicine is the oldest and most comprehensive holistic health care system ever developed. It combines the use of medicinal herbs, acupuncture, nutritional therapy, massage, meditation and exercise.

The philosophy of Oriental Medicine is preventive in nature and views the practice of waiting to treat a disease until the symptoms are full blown as being similar to “digging a well after one has become thirsty”. Oriental

Medicine has been proven effective in many conditions, including degenerative diseases, cancer, infectious diseases, allergies, childhood ailments, heart disease and AIDS.

Emerge Acupuncture is focused on offering you the best health care services possible. We are respectful, compassionate and honest in our health care assessments of patients.

 "We educate patients on solutions to optimize their health and give realistic goals to do so. The objective is not perfection but balance."
