What Are the Effects of Acupuncture?

Acupuncture treatment increases the body’s natural defense and resistance to disease. The balancing effect adjusts blood flow, improves nervous tone, regulates both hormonal levels and the functions of the internal organs.

The internal organs control body functions, digestion, respiration, circulation, genitourinary musculoskeletal, neurological and metabolic functions. These organs also command various parts of the body; the eyes, ears, nose and throat, knees, back, chest, abdomen and the extremities. The internal organs are responsible for controlling emotional states of depression, anger, fear, worry, grief, sadness, anxiety and obsessions. By restoring the normal function of the internal organs, acupuncture can control body functions, various parts of the body and emotional states.

Best thing I’ve done.. Iv been dealing with Peripheral Neuropathy for months due to chemotherapy treatments, Dr Lenaha’s treatment gave me my life back, Relieved me of my vision and left side balance issues along with numbness in my foot. Things my neurologist could not relieve without medication with terrible side effects. This treatment was truly a blessing. Thank you Dr. Lenah. IHighly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Erik Bluvias

Was struggling with lower back pain and sciatica due to a ruptured disc, did not want any kind of surgery or traditional pain management, so my options were acupuncture or chiropractor. Am glad to have chosen correctly, it took a little time but my back doesn’t bother me the way it did. The acupuncture treatments did the trick. Thanx doc!

Ginny Vega

Dr. Lenahan and his office staff have been nothing short of amazing! First, I am always greeted by Megan and walked through billing procedures with patience and efficiency. Next, but most importantly is the relief I have gotten by Dr. Lenahan’s acupuncturist skills. He has a gentle, steady hand and a knowledge base unlike any western medicine doctor. He has taken the time to listen to my concerns, as well as ask thoughtful questions! I have finally found relief from chronic neck, shoulder and back pain with his methods. I highly recommend Dr. Lenahan!

I have been seeing Dr. Lenahan for several years now. He has basically saved my life. He is the best. He is kind, polite, listens to you, and then helps you to get better. I can't imagine going to anyone else. He has helped me with health issues that no medical doctor could. This is the acupuncture doctor that you want to see. Megan, his receptionist, always goes out of her way to help all of the doctor's patients in any way that she can.

I had to share the news... Dr. Lenahan has been helping my 10 year old son with his allergies, including anaphylaxis food allergies. All of Sean's allergies are gone! Except his dairy and mold allergies which have been considerably reduced. This is all due to Dr. Lenahan's expertise in acupuncture! Sean has had these allergies his whole life! Western medicine doctors told us to avoid the allergen, take medicine and hope for the best. Sean is still receiving treatments and we are hopeful in the near future he will be able to eat whatever he wants. We can't thank Dr. Lenahan enough for his commitment to helping our dream come true.
