Acupuncture at Wildwood is based on a style called Classical Chinese Medicine. This ancient form of medicine is a healing art with an elegant approach to complicated health issues. It has been practiced for over 2,000 years with a philosophy that all disease stems from an imbalance of energy. The skilled practitioner is able to identify warning signs to prevent the onset of illness as well as to prevent further complications of existing disease.
