General Practitioners

• Fibromyalgia
  Acupuncture uses extra fine needles placed into specific points on the body. These points lie along channels of the body called "meridians" that allow for the free flow of energy or "qi". When these channels are blocked, imbalance occurs and illness can occur. Acupuncture attempts to clear blocks and allow energy to flow freely thus balance can be re-established. Acupuncture is effective for both acute and chronic conditions. Addiction, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, hypertension, fertility, and weight loss can all be helped by acupuncture with very few side-effects. Acupuncture can also stimulate the immune system and help to prevent illness. It can be used in conjunction with naturopathic and conventional medicine or alone. While you rest quietly, acupuncture needles focus your body's energy where it is most needed for healing. When the points are addressed often you may feel a feeling of heaviness or radiation of this sensation, but most often you will have a feeling of total relaxation. This gentle yet powerful treatment allows your body to re-balance achieving a return to health.

• Kidney Stones
  "I was very skeptical about acupuncture until I had my first experience with Dr. Anja Crider last summer. I was experiencing a tremendous amount of pain due to kidney stones and the medication the doctors had given me was not providing relief. Dr. Crider offered a treatment and I immediately felt complete relief which lasted until I had surgery. I instantly became a believer in acupuncture at that point. To seal the deal, I suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome and have had surgery in one hand, but have been experiencing pain and numbness while waiting for a second surgery to fix the other hand. Dr. Crider did some treatments on my wrist and shoulder and it significantly improved the problem, allowing me to cancel surgery. I am thoroughly convinced now that acupuncture is a legitimate and useful tool in many different aspects of medical care."
