Here at Community Natural Health & Acupuncture, the goal is not to treat symptoms but to treat the body as a system and restore it to optimum balance. Dr. Jim's approach to acupuncture is unique to his practice. He uses a technique similar to "dry needling". After needle insertion, he manually stimulates a point for a very short period of time then quickly removes the needle. He has found this leads to optimal results. He also frequently uses a hand held micro current tens stimulation directly on the needle. Deep pressure point therapy is added if necessary. This system creates a concentrated area of temporary inflammation along with increasing blood circulation. This immediately changes the body dynamics of a patient so they can begin to heal. For almost 20 years, Dr. Jim has been serving the pain relief needs of Anderson, Clemson, Greenville, and the upstate area.
