Conditions Treated

Acupuncture is one of the most widely recommended treatments in modern medicine. It is non-invasive and non-addictive. Due to the unique way Chinese Medicine views the body, you are not required to have a diagnosis from your doctor to receive acupuncture. However, Melanie is trained in Western medical conditions and treatments, including medications and will integrate a treatment protocol alongside these.
