Always a really relaxing experience every time I go. The place is quiet and serene. The doctor and staff are always professional while being attentive. The procedure is seamless. Dr. Vernon listens to your concerns and focuses the acupuncture in those areas for maximum effect and recovery. I don't know the "ins and outs" of acupuncture but I always find it easy to relax and drift off into a quiet slumber. I wake up feeling relaxed and refocused and a little more clear-headed. My recovery continues into the night and I get up the next morning with less muscle aches and tightness which is good for me since I work out five days a week. If you haven't considered acupuncture from a holistic perspective, you should give it a try. It won't give you immediate results but I personally believe it will help your body "reset and repair" itself without a lot of the manufactured medicines that our society has grown to depend on.
