COMBINING ACUPUNCTURE WITH MANY
FORMS OF NATURAL TREATMENT
Acupuncture PLUS 
• Oriental Herbology
• Clinical Nutrition
• Therapeutic Exercise
• Micro-Current Stimulation
(see descriptions below)
Acupuncture is both ancient and modern, involving stimulation of specific sites on the body. Its benefits may be described in traditional terms, such as "chi" energy, meridian flow lines, and yin/yang duality; or its actions may be described according to modern physiology, helping via the nervous system to regulate such processes as circulation, secretion, and nerve-impulse transmission.
Gentle and safe, acupuncture may be used to treat many kinds of illness and injury, or to maintain good health.
SAFE AND COMFORTABLE
Our office uses a modern technique with extremely fine needles, which are comfortable even for sensitive individuals. We will be glad to demonstrate this method for you. For complete safety, our office uses only disposable needles. Each one is sterilized at the factory and packaged in its own bubble pack.
MICRO-CURRENT STIMULATION
Mr. Greenleaf has devoted much attention to improving traditional acupuncture by applying mild electronic impulses to the needles. Impulses may increase the stimulation of nerve endings at the acupuncture site. They also act locally on affected tissue, increasing activity within the cells.
ACUPUNCTURE...WITHOUT NEEDLES
For children and sensitive adults, we can apply gentle electronic impulses to points on the surface of the skin. Also, tiny metal pellets or magnets can be positioned at the acupoints with adhesive tape. In some cases the benefits of acupuncture can be achieved this way, without needles.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
The need for vitamins and minerals varies greatly depending on such factors as individual metabolism, health problems, and prior deficiencies. We can recommend supplements as part of an overall natural approach toward better health, as well as to support the body's efforts to heal itself.
ORIENTAL HERBS
Herbs are nature's medicines. Their advantages include lack of harmful side effects. Oriental herbology is an ancient science, emphasizing the combination of herbs for effects which are reliable and powerful, yet harmonious. We have access to hundreds of these formulas for a wide variety of purposes. Some are available as freeze-dried extracts for greater potency.
THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE
Over the course of years, we have developed an approach for customizing exercise routines for the individual patient. This approach aims at restoring balance to the joint structure and muscle tone.
