Acupuncture is an effective form of medical treatment that has evolved into a complete holistic health care system. Practitioners of acupuncture and Chinese medicine have used this noninvasive treatment method to help millions of people become well and stay well. Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.
During the initial exam a full health history is taken. Questions are asked regarding health, symptoms and lifestyle. An appropriate physical exam is conducted, including pulse and tongue diagnosis.
Gathering this information enables the practitioner to effectively diagnose and detect any specific imbalances of Qi that may have contributed to a person’s health problems. The practitioner can then create a well-structured treatment plan.
Once the imbalances of Qi are detected, an acupuncturist will place fine, sterile needles at specific acupoints along meridian pathways. This safe and painless insertion of the needles can unblock the obstruction and balance Qi where it has become unbalanced. Once this is done, Qi can freely circulate throughout the body, providing adequate nourishment to cells, organs, glands, tissues and muscles. This can eliminate pain and restore balance and harmony, as well as the body’s ability to heal itself—ultimately leading to optimal health and well-being.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are safe,
effective and drug-free therapies that can help
address a wide variety of common ailments and problems.
Meet Our Acupuncturist:

Laura Luka
Dear Patients,
It is with mixed emotions that we share the news of Laura, our acupuncturist, departing from Abby Chiropractic. Her last day with us will be on June 22nd.
As much as we will miss Laura, we are thrilled to share that her husband has received his dream job opportunity in New York, and they will be moving their family to start this new chapter in their lives.
We understand that saying goodbye is never easy, but we want to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to Laura for her contributions to our practice and the positive impact she has had on the well-being of our patients.
We do not have a current alternate Acupuncturist taking over for her practice. We are currently interviewing acupuncturists to join the clinic. We are hoping to have one hired before Laura's departure.
Thank you, Laura, for your dedication, kindness, and healing touch. You will always have a special place in our Abby Chiropractic family.
