We frequently and successfully treat pain, stress, anxiety, insomnia, digestive complaints and immune system health. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine treats the root cause of dis-ease. Symptoms are viewed as a signal of an internal imbalance rather than as the problem itself. Think of it as the gas light on your car - covering up the light will do you no good. Disabling the light will not help. An empty gas tank is causing the light to flash (symptom), so hit the station! The goal of our medicine is to look beyond the symptoms to determine their cause. https://wellbodyacupuncture.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-08-29 https://wellbodyacupuncture.com/team daily 0.75 2023-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618c250f1f6ab06ac227d02b/28d2fd29-45b4-43f3-bfe6-28f845a42979/DSC_2470.jpeg Meet Allison - Acupuncturist, Massage Therapist, mom of two. Allison France, L.Ac., LMT I’m Allison. I’m glad you’re here. It is my passion to help patients achieve pain-free living and understand how to support the needs of their body. This includes getting to the root cause of discomfort whether it be chronic pain, headaches, fatigue, injury, anxiety or stress. Pain can come in many forms, disguises and expressions. It is my goal as your practitioner to not only resolve symptoms but to also help you better understand the cause of your discomfort and to create a plan to maintain optimal health. It is with genuine curiosity that I approach each client. I love working to understand the human experience and I have a passion for anatomy, physiology and the mysteries of our bodies. I have recently returned to Sandpoint with my husband and two kiddos and am excited to be contributing to the wellness community in my hometown.
