AcupunctureChinese medicine is the oldest continually practiced form of healthcare in the world. Everyday hundreds of millions of safe and effective acupuncture treatments are performed throughout the world. Acupuncture actually works. Acupuncture can change your life.

How Does it Work?Acupuncture works by stimulating a gentle response in our nervous system to bring it back into balance. When our nervous system is functioning in balance, we can then restore and maintain our health.

Acupuncture itself is the application of fine, sterile needles that stimulate specific points on the body. Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, and hair-thin. People experience acupuncture differently – not only from one person to another, but also from treatment to treatment. Most people will feel minimal or no pain. Some people feel energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed.

Acupuncture HelpsThese prestigious organizations say so, too:

• The American Medical Association • The NIH • Harvard Medical School • Johns Hopkins • Memorial Sloan-Kettering • The Mayo Clinic • The World Health Organization

And this is what they say acupuncture helps:

• Arthritis• Headaches & Pain• Insomnia & Anxiety• Peripheral Neuropathy• Stress

An integrated medical perspective: Jonathan Gilbert has decades of experience integrating Chinese medicine with and collaborating with practitioners of conventional medical treatments in Europe and the United States.

Chinese Herbology: A Very Special ServiceMedicinal use of herbal and mineral agents in the Far East is known in the West as Chinese Herbology. It is the heart of Chinese medicine. From the classical texts written in 200 BC to the present day, Chinese Herbology has been refined into a profound practical healthcare.

Jonathan Gilbert brings over 20 years of training and clinical experience to his practice of Chinese Herbology. He is considered, quite simply, to be an expert in this field with rare skills, training, and certification to adapt herbal prescriptions for an individual’s needs.

Seeing Mr. Gilbert for in depth herbal consultations generally extends over a greater period of time than for acupuncture care. Taking herbs requires more commitment by the client, and many have found this commitment, of both time and finances, to be of great value and benefit.
