Do you take my insurance?

What do you use acupuncture for?
Acupuncture is used for a variety of symptoms, ranging from headaches to acute injuries such as ankle sprains.
Should I get adjusted before or after my massage?
Ideally the adjustment comes after the massage or exercises, because massage and exercise help warm up your muscles and relieve built up tension, which makes the adjustment easier.
