The intent of Acupuncture therapy is to restore health, alleviate pain and balance the body to promote healing. To unblock what is blocked, whether physical, emotionally or energetically. Through the assessment of flow and "chi" within the body's pathways (meridians) Dr. Amie Shimmel is able to influence health and sickness by stimulating certain areas along these meridians. These areas or “acupoints” are stimulated by fine, slender needles, adjusting the flow of chi. When chi is flowing well, when the proper amount reaches the proper place at the proper time, the body heals itself.

Gentle Chiropractic
Dr. Amie Shimmel Handa has been providing quality, gentle and effective chiropractic health for years. Unlike conventional medicine which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, the gentle chiropractic care by Dr. Amie Shimmel emphasizes the importance of improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Given that option most people would prefer to be healthy and avoid illness if possible. Chiropractic care can help people achieve their health and wellness goals.

Holistic Medicine promotes wellness and keeps your health moving in a forward direction instead of digressing. My goal is to help every patient have the best health they have had in years, to shift some specific illness or disease into one of wellness. I believe that we all have within us the ability to be healthy; we are not our circumstances or our environment. When we start to shift ourselves, our internal environment to one of harmony and wellness, something profound happens, that’s when healing begins.

It's usually done in a 12 week process over 3 months, but even a single session of holistic medicine can start the process. Chronic problems take time to shift & they don’t heal overnight. In my 31 years of experience as an Acupuncturist, Chiropractor and Holistic Practitioner, I have experienced techniques and practices that make a significant change in the body. These practices are powerful and easy to do, you will learn and incorporate one at a time. I will guide and encourage you every step as you transform your body into vibrancy and health and learn how to keep it that way!
