Acupuncture

 

Acupuncture is based on the idea that stimulating specific points in the body will balance the body's qi (or energy).  Each acupuncture treatment is different and tailored to the patient's needs at the time of the visit.  The amount of treatments will vary depending on how quickly the patient responds to each session.

 

Our two acupuncture practitioners at The Agada Center are Dr. Torregiani and Picara Vassallo.  Dr. Torregiani utilizes acupuncture for pain management and infertility treatments whereas Picara Vassallo focuses on a holistic approach, incorporating chinese herbs, moxibustion, reiki and other modalities in addition to acupuncture.  She specializes in alleviating symptoms of emotional disorders such as anxiety, stress, and depression. She also treats infertility, chronic pain and does facial rejuvenation acupuncture.
