Acupuncture
Acupuncture - Moxabustion and unique forms of Chinese massage, such as Cupping, Gua Sha and Tui Na, are used to release tight muscles, improve blood circulation and activate natural healing responses in the body.
Acupuncture is delivered by a trained Acupuncturist (R.Ac) using sterile single-use needles according to a detailed system of Chinese (TCM) medical diagnosis. By activating specific nerve pathways and natural healing mechanisms the healthy functioning of your body's endocrine-immune-nervous systems can be maintained or enhanced to overcome disease or to prevent illness.
Acupuncture Treatment
Your body is the most powerful resource we have at our disposal in order to overcome disease and illness. Your body is able to produce powerful natural healing substances, activate natural healing mechanisms and self-regulate to overcome disease and illness and promote healing and recovery. Because Acupuncture has a profound affect on the nervous-immune-endocrine systems, and a regulatory effect on the body's organ systems, it can be used to safely to address underlying imbalances to support virtually any medical diagnosis.
Acupuncture is the most advanced technique available to help modulate and direct this natural healing system and can be effectively used to treat the following:
Depression

"I've suffered with daily pain"
I received a recommendation to try acupuncture for my shoulder and neck. I have tried several treatments over the years for both a frozen shoulder and a stiff neck. I've suffered with daily pain in both areas that often kept me up at night and limited my movement during the day. Previous treatments gave me some temporary relief but Christopher has managed to obtain long term relief. I now sleep through the night without pain and during the day the pain is very mild and improves each week as I continue to attend my appointments.

"I had tried regular massage, and chrio"
My experience at CJR Acupuncture has been extremely beneficial to my health, and my main area of concern, which was the dreaded Back pain! I had almost given up hope of feeling relief, as I had tried regular massage, and chrio for over a year. I still believe in those treatments, but they just weren't working for my issue. The Acupuncture treatments have given me the most relief I have felt in a very long time. Thanks Chris for all your knowledge and care you give to your clients. It is much appreciated!!

" I am so encouraged by the amount of transformation I have experienced"
CJR Acupuncture has been an amazingly nurturing, caring and mostly healing place for treatment. It is a very calming space that is relaxed and welcoming. I am so encouraged by the amount of transformation I have experienced in my own life when things felt so desperate. I thank him for helping recovery and assisting my journey towards a healthier and brighter future.
I can't express enough how much I recommend CJR~ and how grateful I am for finding this space of growth and healing.

Acupuncture treatment and TCM provide the unique ability to detect minor imbalances in the body before they become pathogenic processes.
In light of the holistic effects of Acupuncture treatment and it's ability to promote "rest and digest" and the parasympathetic body-state, the stress relieving benefits and balancing effect of treatment can be an effective tool in the prevention of disease and illness.
