Point Of Balance Acupuncture & Herbs

Point of Balance Acupuncture is an establishment based on the traditional principles of Oriental Medicine. We are dedicated to providing personalized treatments, while also educating our patients about healthy lifestyle choices. Our belief is that health is not just the absence of illness, but rather the balance of one's physical, emotional, and mental well-being. With the positive choices we make each day, we can greatly influence our health and well-being.

As Thomas Edison once said, "The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." At Point of Balance Acupuncture, we aim to embody this philosophy by offering regular acupuncture treatments to assist you in maintaining your health and possibly preventing the onset of disease. By recognizing subtle tendencies within the organ system that might cause future imbalances, we can help you achieve optimal wellness.
