History
Established in 2005.
The acupuncture practice of Shannon Considine, M.Ac., L.Ac., Dipl.Ac., welcomes new clients, including those who have never experienced acupuncture.
Many clients visit Shannon for "preventive" health reasons, timing their treatment with the change of seasons or times of stress when the energy flows--chi-- are most likely to need re-balancing.
Other clients work with Shannon to treat a chronic medical condition, such as arthritis, and others for pain relief and hastened healing of an injury .
For those following a treatment plan from a physician, Shannon's acupuncture treatments are truly "complementary," making the body more receptive to other treatments and medications.
