For first time patients, please call our office to schedule.
Acupuncture is an ancient yet scientific treatment modality working directly with the fascia (the connective tissue wrapping around your muscles), the autonomic nervous system and the circulatory system, as well as trigger points in the muscles to help reduce inflammation, release muscle tension, repair nerves and vessels, and balance hormones. While Acupuncture is effective at treating many different conditions, it is especially effective at pain relief. It is so effective, in fact, that countless medical research has been conducted on how it works and Acupuncture has proven itself time and time again to be a safe, cost-effective, non-invasive and drug-free option in pain management.

Functional Medicine

Functional medicine, like acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, is an approach to health that focuses on finding the underlying, root cause of disease. Not just what you are sick with, but how and why you got there and how to correct it to live a life of full and abundant health. This means tracing back where the illness or symptom began and reversing it, not just covering it up with medication. Wh... Read More

Functional medicine, like acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, is an approach to health that focuses on finding the underlying, root cause of disease. Not just what you are sick with, but how and why you got there and how to correct it to live a life of full and abundant health. This means tracing back where the illness or symptom began and reversing it, not just covering it up with medication. While acupuncture at Lake Life also is looking for the root cause of disease, functional medicine sessions focus on labwork, health history, supplementation and lifestyle coaching to help you reach your health goals.
First sessions are $145 for about 1 hour, and return visits are $100 and take about 45 minutes for continued consultation and updated treatment plan, labwork and supplements. To increase success in your health goals you can add an acupuncture session add-on service at reduced cost, however, functional medicine consultation is beneficial all on it's own.
Common conditions addressed through functional medicine include hormonal imbalances, chronic headache/migraine, diabetes, insulin resistance, insomnia, acid reflux, digestive complaints, and more.

This is a profound branch of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture which helps to tonify sagging skin, improve skin tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, remove age spots, reduce or eliminate acne, brighten the skin and take years off--ALL NATURALLY!

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture sessions include body acupuncture, which reduces the effects of stress and inflammation, improves circulation and calms the nervous system, as well as targeted facial needles (non-painful) that help to reduce fine lines/wrinkles, improve skin tone and elastin. These sessions are perfect if you are looking to refresh your face and reduce fine lines without wanting to do anything invasive, or if you are suffering the aging effects of chronic illness.

Microneedling: Uses an oscillating needle device that penetrates past the epidermis (top layer of skin) down to the cellular level of the dermis. By activating this level, we are able to stimulate the fibroblasts, which are cells that produce collagen and elastin. This method helps to provide the benefits of botox naturally, without the injection of toxins.

Using a gentle pulse, salt water, and ionic coil, the machine helps to break up cellular debris in the lymph and circulatory systems and pulls them into the water through the large pores of the feet. It sounds crazy, but it is highly effective. You can actually see the debris, heavy metals, and/or candida in the water! And you will feel lighter afterward.
This is also a great add-on service to acupuncture if your treatments plateau, you've been exposed to heavy metals or chemicals, taken antibiotics or other medications, or have a bacterial overgrowth in the gut.
