Compass Acupuncture Tacoma

Compass Acupuncture is founded on the principles of East Asian medicine, a medicine that is based on thousands of years of careful and thoughtful observational practice. It is a holistic approach of treating the whole person, rather than the main complaint. It is about getting to the root of the problem, and finding the path towards health that takes into account where you are now and you would like to be. East Asian medicine not only looks at the whole person, but involves a partnership between you and your practitioner.

We understand that there is a powerful connection between our bodies and our emotions. It is why emotional conditions such as depression and anxiety can cause physical pain, and conversely, why physical trauma can result in one’s emotions being affected. Similarly, there is an equally strong connection between our bodies and the environment in which we live. Too much or sudden exposure to wind, cold, heat, dryness, or damp can result in illness. Finally, our lifestyle choices can also influence our health. Diet, exercise, medication, and breathing can all factor into how we feel. At Compass Acupuncture we will meet you where you are and work with you in assisting you to find your way to the pinnacle of health.
