– About Acupuncture
According to the Yin-Yang theory, the oriental medicine considers the human body as a separate universe. The human body maintains balance with flow of life-giving energy. This energy, called “Qi”, flows organs to the superficial body tissues and joints, through channels called meridians. If the flow of Qi is abnormal for any reason, the imbalance begins to surface in the form of symptoms. The Acupuncture treats those symptoms by harmonizing the balance with gentle insertion of needles on specific meridians and acupuncture points.
Recently, the Acupuncture is very commonly used for pain and stress relief such as musculoskeletal problems, including low back pain, shoulder stiffness and knee pain as well as depression, insomina and other emotional problems.

Pamela, 06/26/2019 on Google Business Eric is incredible. His knowledge, caring and dedication to his patients is unparalleled. He is treating my 93 year old mother who had a stroke and he has majorly reduced her pain and her BP is coming down week by week, with less medicine. Her speech has also improved. A situation that seemed hopeless is suddenly coming back! Thank you Eric. I highly recommend Affinity Acupuncture!Pamela
