Acupuncture is a form of holistic medicine and a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a technique in which thin needles are inserted into the body often with electro-stimulation which gently increases blood circulation, stimulates the nervous system, and reduces inflammation. Acupuncture is also used to maintain general health and well-being. Acupuncturists treat a variety of health concerns including women’s health & fertility, autoimmune disorders, digestive disorders, joint & muscle pain, insomnia, and emotional concerns such as stress management, anxiety & depression.

Speaking several languages, Dr. Alea is fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian. He attributes his success to his years of experience of treating patients and their feedback of how well they are doing after receiving them.
