Welcome
Introduction
Adam Jackson, L.Ac., opened the doors of Gig Harbor Acupuncture
in December, 2002. Since then, the practice has grown to serve more than 500 patients in the greater Gig Harbor community.
Although relatively new to Gig Harbor and the rest of North America, acupuncture is part of an ancient medical tradition dating back thousands of years. Along with herbal medicine, dietary therapy, exercise and therapeutic massage, acupuncture was developed in China as a means to preserve health, prevent illness and improve longevity.

Efficacy
Acupuncture effectively treats a broad range of diseases and disorders, including chronic pain, migraine headache, chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia, women's health issues, and digestive disorders.
Rigorous scientific studies and clinical trials have confirmed acupuncture's effectiveness. In the past three years, studies published by the Mayo Clinic and the National Institutes of Health concluded that acupuncture successfully treats fibromyalgia and osteo-arthritis, respectively.
Most recently, a meta-analysis published in the British Medical Journal concluded that acupuncture significantly improves a woman's chances of becoming pregnant while using in vitro fertilization.
These and numerous other well-designed studies continue to demonstrate acupuncture's efficacy in treating chronic diseases and disorders.
