"The law of yin and yang is the natural order of the universe, the foundation of all things, mother of all changes, the root of life and death."

-- The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine

At Stillpoint Acupuncture, Erin Boedeker, L.Ac. relies on 17 years of expertise in Acupuncture, East Asian herbal medicine and sound therapy to create a personalized treatment plan designed to both treat the immediate concern as well as underlying conditions that have exacerbated symptoms. East Asian medicine is based, at least in part, on the Daoist belief that we live in a universe in which everything is interconnected. What happens to one part of the body affects every other part of the body. The mind and body are not viewed separately, but as part of an energetic system. Similarly, organs and organ systems are viewed as interconnected structures that work together to keep the body functioning.

East Asian Medicine encompasses several methods designed to help patients achieve and maintain health. Along with acupuncture, Stillpoint Acupuncture incorporates adjunctive techniques such as acupressure and moxibustion; manipulative and massage techniques such as tuina and gua sha; herbal medicine; diet and lifestyle changes; meditation; and exercise (often in the form of qigong or tai chi). Unique to Stillpoint Acupuncture is the use of a wide variety of sound therapy tools to increase the potency of a treatment.
