Acupuncture and herbal medicine, known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) have been effective treatments for thousands of years. The ancient Chinese were original purveyors of anti-aging medicine. Herbal medicine was pursued by the ancients in hopes of finding the elixir of immortality, a pursuit that has continued into modern day.
Anti-aging medicine is a clinical specialty that is based on sound, scientific principles. Anti-aging specialists believe age associated ailments are not a normal process of aging but, rather a pathology that can be interrupted in the early stages, years before a diagnosis is given. We believe this is is the future of medicine.

Acupuncture has shown to be 2 times more effective for back pain than convention treatments in a number of studies2,3.
Acupuncture needling induces the body’s innate healing ability by increasing the secretion of norepinephrine, monoamines, and pituitary β-endorphins, serotonin. Furthermore, acupuncture modifies pain perception by increasing spinal cord enkephalin and dynorphin secretion.
Acupuncture is better than conventional treatment for back pain and certainly the safest.
