Dr. Peter Bongiorno
Acupuncture and TCM
Dr. Peter considers acupuncture as a natural method to help your body balance with itself, and also the environment around you. Using the acupuncture needles, you can access the flow of energy throughout your body to help it align with the energy all around us.
Dr. Peter earned a separate Master of Science in Acupuncture and works with Traditional Chinese Medicine theory (TCM) with many of his patients to help augment naturopathic care. Like naturopathy, TCM believes in the ability of the body to heal itself. TCM also utilizes changes in lifestyle, food, and sometimes taking herbal medicine as well as using acupuncture to help bring the body back in balance.
At your first visit, you can request acupuncture if this is something of interest to you, or depending on your needs, Dr. Peter may discuss this with you for future visits.
