Our Services

At Total Family Wellness, we offer a range of services designed to promote healing, balance, and wellness. Our services include acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and other therapies tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our acupuncture treatments involve the insertion and manipulation of flexible, hair-thin needles at specific points on the body, which have been shown to relieve pain, balance mood, enhance athletic performance, increase fertility, and improve overall health and wellness. We also provide Chinese herbs and other therapies to complement our acupuncture treatments and support our patients' health and wellness goals.

Our Approach

We believe that the mind and emotions play an integral factor in the development and resolution of illness. Our goal is to inform people about the connection between the mind and body and educate our patients about the importance of a balanced lifestyle. We take a holistic approach to healthcare, considering each patient's unique physical, emotional, and mental needs. By working together, we can help you achieve your health and wellness goals and discover a happier, healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
