Acupuncture
Acupuncture is part of a 3000 year old Chinese medical system that removes energy blockages, boosts the immune system, calms the nervous system and the mind, and restores balance to all systems of the body.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory:
According to TCM theory, acupuncture aims to balance the flow of energy, known as “Qi” (pronounced “chee”) through pathways called meridians in the body. It is believed that illness and pain occur when there is an imbalance or blockage in the flow of Qi. By inserting needles into specific points along the meridians, acupuncturists aim to restore the balance of Qi and promote healing.
Neurotransmitter and Hormonal Effects:
Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving substances and well as serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation. It has also been shown to trigger the body’s natural healing mechanism and can cause changes in the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily functions such as digestion, circulation, and immune responses.
Acupuncture has been shown to treat many conditions such as stress, fatigue, infections, cold, flu, allergies, headache, Insomnia, Back pain, boosts immune system, Menstrual issues, menopause, infertility, Carpal tunnel, Muscle and joint pain (tendonitis, bursitis, sprains), Chemotherapy nausea, Depression, Post-operative dental pain, Digestive (ulcers, nausea, sinusitis, gastritis, irritable bowel), Skin Disorders, Addictions, Stroke rehabilitation, and Urinary problems.

“Acupuncture with Donna has solved a number of ailments for me — stress and sleep issues, frozen shoulder and headaches. The treatments really have helped, even within a day (in the case of a recent headache/neck problem). She can always find time when I am in need of help, and it’s a pleasant experience (the most peaceful part of my day). ”
“Donna Bunte, thank you for your extraordinary talent with healing my husband’s back. After 3 chiropractic visits, he was still laying on the floor until you treated him with acupuncture. Your precision enabled him to stand and walk gently within minutes. Thank you for exquisite healing!”
