Acupuncture is a safe, and effective method of treatment,
side effects are rare. Practitioners at the Stark
Clinic only use disposable needles, which are discarded
immediately following the treatment of the patient.
The insertion of an acupuncture needle is rarely described
as painful, but as tingling.
Acupuncture treatment is used to promote health, and
alleviate pain. Though there are many skeptics,
acupuncture has been time-tested for over 20 centuries; hence
our copyrighted phrase: "Treating Modern Diseases with the
Wisdom of 20 Centuries©".
More and more, doctors are
prescribing conventional treatments and acupuncture
treatment. At the Stark Clinic, we believe that
integrative medicine, combining both western and eastern
medicine is key for the health and progress of patients.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the worlds oldest forms
of medicine, dating over 2000 years. Today, Acupuncture
and Prescription Herbal Medicines are used to treat a variety of
different conditions. A list of conditions that are recommended for acupuncture
