Dr. Amanda Ballas

I believe that health is a balance within the body itself and between the body and the external environment. When the body is internally balanced and in harmony with the external environment, energy flows smoothly throughout to nourish all organs and tissues.

By adjusting and stimulating the flow of energy, we stimulate the body’s natural healing ability to maintain health and protect against disease.

I am dedicated to bringing health and healing to my patients.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture seeks to balance and optimize the flow of energy through the body by stimulating certain points along channels known as meridians. The energy that flows along these channels is know as Qi. Meridians are like rivers inside the body. Wherever a river flows it carries water which nourishes and sustains life on our planet.

Meridians not only feed vital energies to their related organs, they also reflect any pathological disturbance in those organs, thus providing practitioners a convenient and highly accurate tool for diagnosis as well as therapy.

Similarly, meridians are the channels where Qi flows; energizing, nourishing and supporting every cell, tissue, muscle, organ, and gland in the body.

By inserting very fine needles at certain points you can manipulate the flow of energy in order to restore balance.

The goal of this dynamic and integrated health care system is to strengthen the body as a whole, in order to prevent future illness and disease
