Acupuncture
Reduces Pain
Decreases Inflammation
Improves Range of Motion
Increases Functional Ability
Reduces Stress and Feelings of Overwhelm
I was referred to Tara for some nagging muscle soreness while training for a marathon. At my first visit, Tara was easily able to not only locate the source of pain, but to quickly release the tension in the area. This was a MAJOR release for me, and the treatment left me feeling more grounded and at peace with myself.

Even simple injuries may be the result of a longer-lasting underlying condition that needs to be addressed as well. And, truly, the only way to approach a complex, living being is with humility, openness, persistence, and the belief that the body can do a tremendous amount of healing on its own when given the chance.
