An Age-old Tradition That Really Works

Acupuncture is a 5,ooo-year old healing method from the Orient that is widely recognized by the conventional medical establishment and covered by many health insurance plans.

Why is acupuncture so effective? The basis of acupuncture is the essential life force principle—a system of energy circulation in the human body—that modern science has only recently begun to understand. Acupuncture is based on the premise that when your body’s life force energy, or chi, becomes unbalanced, illness or pain occurs.

The human body consists of 14 energy pathways known as meridians. Your chi flows through over 2,000 corresponding acupuncture points in these meridians. Using acupuncture on specific points unblocks and moves your chi.

The effects of acupuncture are powerful and long-lasting because it treats not only the symptoms—but also the root cause—of illness and pain. Blocked or out of balance chi can become your “Achilles heel.” So, for example, if you are prone to anxiety, or lower back pain, or indigestion, having acupuncture will gently alleviate your condition. Picture a dense cloud gradually dissolving in the sky: tonifying, energizing, and dispersing blocked chi—this is the essence of acupuncture.

Sound Too Good To Be True?

It isn’t! One of the many benefits of acupuncture is the deeply relaxing and energized feeling experienced by patients. That’s because acupuncture, unlike pharmaceuticals, works on the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of your constitution. Given today’s high paced, fast food lifestyle, and the daily challenges of work, family, and relationships, it is inevitable that we fall out of harmony with ourselves. The acupuncture approach is comprehensive: recognizing that healthy chi is the ground upon which wellness grows, acupuncture actually facilitates your body’s ability to heal itself.

Your Holistic Therapy of Choice

Enhance your ability to function and your quality of life!

Acupuncture successfully treats over 48 ailments, including: all types of pain and injury, colds and flu, headaches, allergies, insomnia, fibromyalgia, arthritis, digestive disorders, hormonal issues, hypertension, and urinary, gynecological, and cardiovascular conditions. You may find that treatment for one ailment actually improves the condition of another!


Headache is a common example of what happens if you work too hard, stress a lot, don’t get enough exercise and play time, eat too much sweet or spicy food, or as a result of hormonal fluctuations. One of the fabulous aspects of acupuncture is its cumulative healing effect: headaches are likely to occur less often and be less painful compared to what they would have been without acupuncture. Your condition will be easier and quicker to treat the next time.


Expect the Best

A qualified acupuncturist should:
• do a detailed intake, examine your tongue, and listen to your pulses to determine your condition and create your treatment plan
• never discourage you from taking your doctor’s prescribed medications, seeking medical advice or going for a yearly physical
• possess national certification, a state license, and fulfill ongoing professional educational requirements from an accredited institution.

Give Yourself the Gift of Health

18 years ago, a health care professional referred me to Marilyn Allen. At the time, I had already seen a variety of doctors and specialists, all of which were puzzled by the symptoms I was experiencing and unable to provide me with any relief. One visit to Marilyn Allen and I was cured! Since that time, I have utilized Marilyn as my sole health care professional. No matter what health issue I have, she treats it and the results are quick. There's no need for me to spend a lot of money with multiple visits. Usually, one visit will do the trick. I highly recommend Marilyn Allen. She's an acupuncturist with vast training, experience and skill.
