Experience Natural Healing with Licensed Acupuncture at Our Clinic

Acupuncture is a healing technique based on the principle of free and uninterrupted energy flow. It helps activate the natural healing process in each patient’s body as well as restores her or his physical and emotional well-being. As an acupuncturist, Dr. Erin Lee helps patients at Pico Family Chiropractic Center reduce their stress and anxiety among other ailments.

Acupuncture invites your body to heal itself. It works with your body’s electromagnetic fields to positively influence nerve, hormone, immune, musculoskeletal, lymphatic, organ and other tissue systems toward repair. Your deepest programming is for health. Acupuncture helps your body access its own innate intelligence. Therefore, it is valuable in resolving both simple and complex issues. Acupuncture sessions bring balance to mind, body and spirit.

When there is conflict in our life or within the body (disease/symptoms), the imbalance is simultaneously represented within the acupuncture system. Physical and emotional trauma, stress, lack of exercise, overexertion, seasonal changes, poor diet, accidents or excessive activity are among the many things that can influence the quality, flow and balance of energy. Bringing balance to the acupuncture system also restores proper function to the body.
